Legislative Considerations

Important legislative considerations

The Health Safety & Employment Act and the Accident Compensation Act require managers (as agents of the employer) to identify and eliminate potential hazards - this includes workplace stress, mental and emotional health and safety.

EAPworks programme features are designed as a resource to assist managers to meet this requirement.  Issues that may pertain to this are outlined in the 'Scope' section of this site.
