This is an interesting question for me - should WorkSafe NZ really be so involved in Covid... or to be more specific, is Covid actually an Occupational Health and Safety risk? Because if it is why have other highly infectious disease not been given the same level of occupation H&S risk scrutiny in all/general workplaces that Covid is been given, example being measles (or even seasonal influenza).And WorkSafe also having a focus on COVID. — Suzanne Broadbent
And is that mainly due to H&S yet again being used as the scapegoat for actions taken to manage other business risks - does this leave us with the only two (logical) options being for the majority of businesses to either:And now we have set the standard for preventing a few few days off work its seems to me we have to keep maintaining that standard for years to come. — Andrew
