Dear WorkSafe New Zealand,

I see the Ministry of Health have published advice about workplace
diseases on their website dated 16 March 2024 here

[10]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

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
