Overlapping Duties – Contractual Relationships - MBIE Examplee

This presentation provides a practical example of how MBIE identifies and manages overlapping health and safety duties within contractual relationships, in line with Section 34 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. It outlines key activities, internal stakeholders, and compliance practices relevant to contracts involving multiple PCBUs.

Key Benefits:

• Real-world application of overlapping duties guidance in a government context.
• Clear process steps for mapping, monitoring, and reviewing shared responsibilities.
• Improved assurance through structured compliance and reporting mechanisms.
• Supports consistency in how contractual relationships are managed across agencies.

This example complements broader guidance by illustrating how overlapping duties can be practically addressed in large-scale projects and service contracts.
