Trends in Safety

We investigate incidents to understand safety hazards—so we can learn from them and prevent them from happening again.

Tracking injuries reported as a result of incidents helps us better understand the hazards related to regulated equipment.

The permits we issue give us insight into what regulated work is being done, where and by whom.

We use a number of tools, including in-person inspections, to assess regulated work—and to enforce duty holders' safety obligations.

When people and companies work without the necessary permits or qualifications, or resist efforts to make their work safe, we take action to ensure compliance.

We issue licences to businesses that perform regulated work, and certificates of qualification to individuals who demonstrate a required level of knowledge and experience.
