Overview

This opportunity in a nutshell

What we need
Research and Evaluation is looking to appoint a supplier to develop and deliver a New Zealand Workforce Survey to collect self-reported occupational exposures. This survey is part of a research plan that aims to improve our understanding of the prevalence of a range of occupational risk factors and to address the need for a comprehensive insight into current exposures and work practices in the New Zealand workforce.
The results of this research will assist WorkSafe in identifying current and potential hazards for the New Zealand workforce and will inform the development of health and safety interventions.
What we don’t want
We do not want to capture employers’ perspectives, exposure outside of work time, or younger workers (19 years or under).
What’s important to us
This survey will serve as a baseline and we intend to repeat this survey over time. It is important to us that the provider designs a survey instrument which employs measures that will allow international comparison.
We are looking for credible providers who have the capability, experience and infrastructure to design, implement and analyse the data. The research providers must have an established track record in occupational health research.
There are a number of preconditions which are outlined in Section 3 of this document.
Why should you bid?
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the occupational health knowledge base in New Zealand. The results generated by this research will inform the development of health and safety interventions which will aim to reduce the burden of occupational ill health amongst New Zealand workers.
A bit about us
WorkSafe New Zealand is a stand-alone Crown Agency established in December 2013. We are equipped with the funding and regulatory powers to achieve a more effective regulatory system and to encourage a culture of vigilance and care about risks in the workplace. The Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA) came into force on 4 April 2016 and represents one of the most significant changes to health and safety legislation in twenty years.
