Answer

I have not set any additional measures to WorkSafe outside of what is already provided through the standard statutory monitoring process. I am advised that WorkSafe New Zealand currently has work underway to develop its Statement of Performance Expectations for 2026-27, which will include appropriate measures relating to enforcement activity.
