Earthquake risk reduction behaviors project  poster

Our EQC funded project investigating whether the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) has a role in how New Zealand organisations manage earthquake risk was also presented at the virtual 2021 Te Hiranga Ru QuakeCoRE Annual Meeting, having been completed earlier this year.

This project found that the HSWA is an unexpected but influential piece of legislation, helping organisations prepare for earthquakes. However, a lack of accessibility to relevant information was impacting the implementation of risk reduction activities.
