We are excited to announce our collaboration with the Working at Height Association (WAHA), the national body representing the working at height industry in New Zealand.

SARNZ and WAHA have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that solidifies our commitment to enhancing workplace safety and empowering workers to make informed decisions while working at heights. This partnership aims to support various activities and education opportunities that promote safety in our industry.

WAHA CEO, Scott Barber, said, "the opportunity to collaborate with professional organisations ensures that the WAHA mission is relevant to those affected by working at height and that our activities align with the broader objectives of education and empowerment. Ultimately we are here to ensure people go home safely to their families at the end of the day, and working with respected and established bodies like SARNZ helps us both connect with those stakeholders around safety, and make the scaffolding and rigging community a safer one in which to work."

One of the key aspects of this collaboration is the exchange of expertise between WAHA and SARNZ. We will work closely together in the professional development of the industry and provide guidance to each other in designing content and technical materials that impact our key stakeholders. By combining our knowledge and resources, we can create effective training programs, seminars, workshops, and other initiatives that address the specific needs of our industry.

As part of this agreement, we will engage in joint activities such as needs assessment advisory undertakings, qualifications development, and professional leadership development. These endeavors will enable us to shape the industry's future, ensuring that safety remains a top priority and that our members are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their work safely and efficiently.

Tina Wieczorek, SARNZ CEO, says regarding the partnership, "This Memorandum of Understanding with WAHA marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of safety within the scaffolding and rigging industry. By joining forces with WAHA, we are strengthening our collective ability to enhance safety practices and provide our members with invaluable education and support. Together, we will work towards our shared goals of keeping our industry safe and improving resilience".

Both SARNZ and WAHA are not-for-profit professional bodies with a long-standing commitment to promoting safety in the workplace and elevating competency levels. SARNZ is dedicated to improving the industry – focusing on health and safety, fit-for-purpose regulations, and raising quality and adherence to best practice.

We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and the positive impact we can create by joining forces with WAHA.

We encourage you to stay connected with SARNZ for updates on the exciting developments resulting from this partnership. Collaboration will help build a safer and more resilient industry, and we look forward to sharing our ongoing work.
