New Zealand's Safe Business Solutions Ltd found liable for Whakaari/White Island eruption safety failure.
New Zealand's Health and Safety at Work Act mandates that businesses (PCBUs) ensure the safety of their workers and prevent risks to others from their activities. Recent court cases clarify PCBUs' responsibilities. In the Whakaari/White Island eruption, charges against the National Emergency Management Agency and tourism companies were dismissed, as they lacked direct involvement. However, Safe Business Solutions Ltd was found liable for failing to ensure safety through its consultancy services.
