Good Practice Guides

Reporting to the governance function is a constant source of discussion and requests, alongside the difference in reporting for governance versus senior management functions. With this in mind, the GHSL has drafted a H&S Reporting Guide for Governance and Executive Leadership. This early draft has been favourably reviewed by a handful of folk across the GHSL membership and so it is time to get a wider review and consultation completed. Does it cover the right topics, is it helpful, is it accurate – Please feedback your views during July and we’ll make any changes with a view to finalising the Guide in August or September. The draft has been included in the latest Tier 2 HSW Leaders Environment Scan, which is about to be circulated.

Kāinga Ora has developed an Officer’s Due Diligence Handbook as an induction style document for any of their officers who are new coming into this role. It is intended to support their attendance at the IoD / GHSL Officer Development programme.

This easy to follow handbook is a great example of support that can be provided to officers who need to understand their role, duties and activities to be taken under s44 of the HSWA 2015. This helpful resource also provides some example questions and conversation prompts for officers to have with their workers and aligns with the Business Leaders Health and Safety Forum document.

Te Puni Kōkiri has developed their Health and Safety Kaupapa. The kaupapa outlines the commitment by Te Puni Kōkiri to ensure work and the places they work are healthy and safe for all kaimahi, volunteers, contractors, and other workers who may be involved in their mahi.

Drawing on Te Whare Tapa Whā, it focuses on four key aspects of wellbeing and how Te Puni Kōkiri will support their workers' wellbeing in these areas.

Taha Wairua, Taha Tinana, Taha Hinengaro and Taha Whānau all need to be nurtured and supported for kaimahi to thrive. They recognise their kaimahi must thrive to be able to help whānau thrive.
