Health and Safety Resources
The Health & Safety at Work Act 2015 has caused DAX Group to shift from taking a compliance based focus to health and safety to adopting a holistic approach to ensuring that we provide the safest possible work places for our people (our employees, contractors, subcontractors), and for others who could be exposed to harm because of our activities (for example the public, visitors to our sites, or those who work alongside us on various workplaces).
We intend that our health and safety and wellbeing initiatives are comparable with the best and most responsible organisations in New Zealand. Our focus is therefore beyond meeting our statutory obligations for health and safety.
