What happened
The EMA provided updates to New Zealand businesses regarding significant health and safety reforms. These changes, which affect employers, are part of amendments to the Health and Safety at Work Act and are scheduled to come into force on April 1, 2027. The reforms include changes to employment relations legislation and the Holidays Act.

Why it matters
The reforms introduce a two-tier system that distinguishes between small and large businesses. Most New Zealand businesses are expected to be classified as a small PCBU, shifting the health and safety obligations toward identifying and managing critical risks rather than addressing all workplace risks.
