The Transport Accident Investigation Commission wants good safety assurance processes in the stevedoring industry.
The watchdog has identified serious safety concerns in the sector after investigating two fatal accidents at ports in April 2022.
It recommends Maritime NZ work with the sector on minimum training standards and a code of practice.
Chief Accidents Investigator Naveen Kozhuppakalam told Jason Pine organisations have largely been left to understand their own risks and put mitigations in place.
“There is regulatory oversight, but it only happens after an accident has occurred. What we want to see is more proactive leadership.”
