Mike Cosman: Institute of Safety Management Chair on the Government reforming health and safety

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

Some are struggling to see the point of the Government's face-lift to workplace health and safety obligations. Minister-in-Charge, Brooke van Velden confirms small businesses will only need to manage risks relating to death or serious injury – to reduce compliance costs. Institute of Safety Management Chair Mike Cosman told Andrew Dickens multiple things the Government's painted as an issue are imaginary. He says there's no current requirement to report minor injuries or have signage for minor risks. Cosman believes the Government's created a myth and is now congratulating itself for cracking that.
