The Site Safety Assessment Form is a crucial document required under New Zealand's workplace health and safety framework. It is designed to comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and related regulations, serving as a systematic tool for identifying and managing workplace risks. This form should be completed before work commences at any new site, when significant changes occur in the workplace, or when new hazards are identified. The document includes comprehensive sections covering hazard identification, risk assessment, control measures, and emergency procedures. It requires input from qualified safety personnel and must be regularly reviewed and updated to maintain its effectiveness in ensuring workplace safety. The form is particularly critical in high-risk industries and must be readily available for inspection by WorkSafe NZ or other authorized parties.
