The new Health and Safety at Work Act came into force on 4 April. The Southland Community Law Centre has developed a series of useful templates in response to the changes in order to assist NGOs.

These templates include a Health and Safety Policy, Governance Health and Safety Policy, Hazard Register and Hazard Notification. The templates are available to the community sector and may be downloaded from Community Networks Aotearoa website http://communitynetworksaotearoa.org.nz/resources/
