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, w

orking 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.

Who are CHASNZ?

In March 2018, a peak health and safety body was established - Construction Health & Safety New Zealand, CHASNZ, a charitable trust. CHASNZ has been developed to deliver a unified voice and to raise the standard of health and safety across the whole of the construction industry. We want ALL construction workers to go home safe and well at the end of every day and we aim to help create a stepchange in the health and safety culture and performance in the next five years. We can achieve this by working with industry to identify and provide guidance on best practice health and safety. We are fortunate to have a high calibre Board who will act as ‘Brand Champions’ for each key sector of construction, providing inspirational leadership to enable better involvement and connection within the industry. This will allow us to establish consistent, easy to engage, health and safety systems that are at the heart of business culture. But it doesn’t stop there, we will continuously review and make improvements to the health and safety standards in the construction industry.
