flag New Zealand updates forestry safety rules to reduce fatalities, focusing on risk-based practices after recent incidents.

flag WorkSafe has released updated forestry safety guidelines in New Zealand, aiming to reduce the industry’s high fatality rate, the worst of any sector in 2024. flag The new Approved Code of Practice, developed with industry input, shifts to a flexible, risk-based approach to better handle dynamic work conditions. flag It responds to ongoing safety concerns, including a fatal incident in Taipuha in April 2025, whose investigation is pending, and multiple injuries in Northland from 2021 to 2024. flag The goal is to prevent future harm through improved practices, collaboration, and proactive inspector engagement, rather than strict enforcement.
