Slide Pack and Report Drafts: Removal of PEN Conductor Protections from AS/NZS3000:2018
Mark Harris made this Official Information request to WorkSafe New Zealand
The request was successful.
From: Mark Harris
Dear WorkSafe New Zealand,
Context:
During 31/3/29025 pre-release meeting with NZEIA, WorkSafe used a slide pack that spoke to risk assessment, residual risk and risk treatment.
However, no risk definition, risk assessment/scoring, discussion of residual risk or recommended risk treatments was contained within the independent advice report (https://www.worksafe.govt.nz/dmsdocument...).
OIA Request:
Please provide:
1) The slide pack presented to NZEIA on 31/3/2026.
2) Draft version of the independent advice report (01 through 05).
3) The risk definition/assessments/scoring/treatment options that led to the content in the silde pack.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Harris
