This Health and Safety document outlines our vision and commitment to
establishing and maintaining a healthy and safe environment. Whether
HLC remains the Principal in respect of a particular site, or whether title to
that site has passed to a developer or builder, any incidents will reflect on
the Hobsonville Point development as a whole and all the companies and
groups involved and it is in the interest of the whole project and all those
involved, to maintain a rigorous safety regime on a project-wide basis.
The project is being developed by a Crown-owned entity, Hobsonville Land Company Limited (HLC). Many
participants - STAKEHOLDERS- are involved in many different types of work and activities, including:
Development partners
AV Jennings
Willis Bond
Classic Developments
Civil works contractors
Dempsey Wood Civil
The Agency Co Ltd
Intercivil
Builder partners Classic Builders
Fletcher Living
GJ Gardner
Haydn & Rollett
Jalcon Homes
Platinum Homes
Universal Homes
Consultants Architects, Engineers, Planners
User groups
The over-arching principle of HLC is that EVERY company and individual involved
in the development has a commitment to safety in all areas, and will work
together so everyone goes home safe.
Vision
Authority
Commitment
We are committed to promoting and maintaining
the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees,

NEW CONCEPTS
The coming law contains the concept of a PCBU - Person
Controlling a Business or Undertaking - which could be:
A business entity such as a company
An individual person a person might be a PCBU if
they are a sole trader or a self-employed person.
An Officer - any person who makes decisions
that affect the whole, or a substantial part, of the
business of the PCBU. This can include managers
and silent partners/directors
A NEW WATCHDOG
WorkSafe NZ has already been formed out of the
previous MBIE (Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment) and DoL (Department of Labour) and is
already administering the present Act and providing
guidance and assistance to those responsible, NOT
just prosecuting them.
The objective is to bring about safer practices not to issue fines!
The information in this document is a summary for
guidance only. Everyone responsible for Health and
Safety must become familiar with their obligations

NOTICES
a) WRITTEN WARNING
A Written Warning is Issued for non-compliance with
the Act which is not put right to the satisfaction of the
inspector before they leave the place of work. They serve
an evidential purpose as a prior warning for issuing an
infringement notice at a later date.
This can be a Notice to anyone on site who is not
complying with the best practice controls for any hazards
identified for the site, including the construction hazards
displayed on the Notice Board.
b) IMPROVEMENT NOTICE
Improvement notices are issued where an inspector
has identified non-compliance to be remedied, and a
timeframe, after the inspector leaves the workplace.
An improvement notice also serves as prior warning for
subsequently issuing an infringement notice.
c) PROHIBITION OR
STOP WORK NOTICE
An inspector will issue a prohibition notice if they believe
that a failure to comply with a provision of the HSE Act
is likely to cause immediate or imminent serious harm to
any person.
Prohibition notices can be issued in addition to other
enforcement actions in order to ensure serious harm does
not occur in the meantime (e.g. while a prosecution is
being undertaken).
A prohibition notice may serve as prior warning for later
issuing an infringement notice.

The contractor develops the methodology for the

5. GENERAL REMARKS
The decision whether to use hand-digging, hydroexcavation or air spade will be a result of the general
assessment and decision by HLC and contractor,
with advice from utility providers.
GPR is a valuable tool but subject to error and
interpretation; and must be used as an additional
resources only, NOT a primary resource.
Mark-outs and standovers are being provided by
Electrix as a separate commercial arrangement
between HLC and Electrix. This will be the case for
all Vector assets and can include gas as requested at
the June 13 meeting.
