Health & Safety Support

EMA Health & Safety Roadshow

The Health and Safety at Work Amendment Act comes into force on 1 April 2027, bringing the most significant changes to New Zealand's health and safety framework in a decade. Through our partnership with EMA, employers can attend the Health & Safety Roadshow to understand what these changes mean in practice and how to prepare their business.

Led by EMA's employment relations and health and safety experts, the roadshow provides practical guidance, industry insights, and the opportunity to ask questions about upcoming legislative changes.
‍
Upcoming roadshow dates include:
‍

  • 16 September - Manukau and Grafton

  • 22 September - Whangārei and Albany

  • 23 September - Hamilton

  • 24 September - Tauranga and Rotorua

Knowing it is coming is one thing. Knowing what it means for your business, in practice, is another. Six stops around the country from $49.00 a seat.
