WorkSafe NZ plans to cut 180 jobs, netting a loss of 40 positions, despite previous role reductions and criticisms from unions.

WorkSafe New Zealand plans to cut 180 jobs while creating 140 new ones, resulting in a net loss of 40 positions. This follows a reduction of over 100 roles last November, impacting various health and safety specialists. Critics, including the Public Service Association and the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions, argue these cuts undermine worker safety and education, warning of long-term risks to New Zealand's already poor health and safety record.
