Northpower was awarded top prize in the Engagement category at this year’s Safeguard New Zealand Workplace Health & Safety Awards, in recognition of our work to include every employee in the development of our live electricity Critical Risk Control (CRC) programme. We are thrilled to have been chosen from a competitive field across New Zealand to win the award, which recognises the best initiative to encourage worker engagement in health and safety across a wide range of industries including government, viticulture, forestry, agriculture, aviation, and infrastructure.

The Safeguard Awards, organised with the support of WorkSafe New Zealand and ACC, celebrate excellence in the prevention of workplace injury and ill-health, and were announced at a prestigious awards dinner in Auckland on 21 June.
