From: R Newton
Dear WorkSafe New Zealand,
I am writing under the Official Information Act to request information regarding WorkSafe’s expectations and records related to fatal road crashes occurring on detour routes. Specifically, I would like to know:
1) Does WorkSafe expect to be notified of fatal road crashes that occur on official detour routes where a road closure was planned?
2) Does WorkSafe expect to be notified of fatal crashes on official detour routes where a road closure was unplanned, such as following an emergency incident?
3) Does WorkSafe expect to be notified of fatal crashes on wider detour routes that are not part of the official signed detour, but are commonly used during planned road closures? For example, as referenced in the ACE NZ article: https://www.acenz.org.nz/new_changes_for...
4) How many fatal road crashes on road detour routes were notified to WorkSafe during the 2024/25 financial year?
Yours faithfully,
Ms R Newton
