Celebrating the best of health, safety and wellbeing in New Zealand

FINALISTS ANNOUNCED!

The finalists in the New Zealand Workplace Health and Safety Awards for 2026 have been decided. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner at the Viaduct Events Centre in Auckland on 23 June.

The annual New Zealand Workplace Health & Safety Awards have been run since 2005. They are organised by Safeguard with the support of WorkSafe New Zealand and ACC.

Peter Bateman, Safeguard editor and convenor of the five-person judging panel, says most initiatives to improve health and safety remain known only within the organisations conducting them.

“Our job as judges is to identify the best of these initiatives and the people behind them and to help shine a light on their work so that others may be influenced to do the same – or better.”
