Worksafe's working relationship with the Ministry of Health

Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to WorkSafe New Zealand

The request was successful.

From: Erika Whittome

Dear WorkSafe New Zealand,
I see the Ministry of Health have published advice about workplace diseases on their website dated 16 March 2024 here
https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/dise...

The MoH says:
"What is required under the Health and Safety at Work Act
Any infectious disease encountered in the workplace is considered a workplace hazard."

Would you kindly share the information on
- the working relationship between Worksafe and the MoH in the year 2024 ?
- any memorandums of understanding between the two agencies.
- how there has been designation of powers to the MoH to authorize the MoH to regulate workplaces?
- how Worksafe is working together with the MoH on the list of recognized workplace diseases that arise out of the nature of the work taking place in 2024? I note the date of this MoH publication is 16 Mar 2024.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
