Construction Health and Safety New Zealand (CHASNZ), a charitable trust developed in 2018 with the objective of improving the lives of construction workers by raising the standard of health and safety culture and performance across the construction industry in New Zealand. The CHASNZ Board, comprises Independent Chair, Roger McRae and senior industry leaders from across all construction sectors, working together they are the collective voice for industry addressing the need for a sustainable change across the sector, identifying areas of risk, providing guidance on best practice health and safety and ensuring health and safety is an intrinsic part of doing better business. Over the past five years injury claims have steadily increased and sadly 29 people have died on our building sites, making construction sites the deadliest workplaces in New Zealand. This increasing injury rate is a key reason why ACC has entered into a five-year partnership with CHASNZ allowing an increase in efforts across health and safety promotion and protection initiatives, enabling a reduction in the harm caused by occupational illness and injury in the construction sector. We want ALL our construction workers to go home safe and well at the end of each day.

CHASNZ is supportive of the 'Share the Road' campaign and we need your help to fill out a quick survey (link below) to improve road sharing and avoid fatal and serious collisions between cyclists and heavy vehicles. The purpose of this survey is to identify the most effective behavioural strategies to increase awareness and empathy between heavy vehicle drivers and people who ride bicycles. A mutual understanding of safety and empathy between bicycle riders and heavy vehicle drivers will improve safety. Your responses will help us to design programs and interventions that foster mutual respect and understanding between these groups. The link for the survey is here: https://lnkd.in/gQib5AiQ Please note, information you provide in this survey will not be shared. Your contact details are only required if you wish to enter the $500 grocery voucher draw.

The Forestry Industry Safety Council has released the attached safety alert that equally applies to the construction industry. Our thoughts go out to the families and others involved in this tragedy.
