The Port Health and Safety Leadership Group
Learn about the the Port Health and Safety Leadership Group.
About us
We are a tripartite group, made up of port and stevedoring companies, unions, the Port Industry Association, Maritime NZ and WorkSafe NZ representatives, all working in partnership to drive a step change in health and safety in New Zealand ports.
Safety, for us, is embodied by the whakataukī:
He waka eke noa - a canoe which we are all in with no exception
Together, our vision is to create:
A high performing, resilient port sector where people thrive and worker health and safety is prioritised through high-trust, tripartite collaboration.
