The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment -- Labour has developed six factsheets to be used with the Best Practice Guidelines for Working at Height in New Zealand published in April this year. The factsheets form part of the Working Safely at Height Toolkit that has been very well received by members of the construction sector and key stakeholders.

The factsheets cover the following topics, Planning a safe approach to working at height, Selecting the right equipment for working safely at height, Short duration work at height, Edge protection, Temporary work platforms, Total Restraint System.

All of these factsheets can of course be found on the DoL website, OR the members area of the HIANZ website. This information will assist in keeping hire companies up to date, and will also compliment the service provided to customers.
