Tēnā koe Aidan,
Delay in response to OIA request We are writing to provide an update on your OIA requests relating to Electrical Safety Amendment
Regulations.
WorkSafe has received correspondence from the Office of the Ombudsman regarding your
complaint about the delay in communicating a decision on these requests.
WorkSafe has reviewed all relevant communications and acknowledges there was a delay in
making and communicating our decision to you. Unfortunately, this was due to an administrative
error relating to the transfer dates from MBIE to WorkSafe. We apologise for this delay.
We are working through your requests and want to assure you that you can expect our response

We appreciate your patience in this matter.
