New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) This section applies in respect of all volunteers doing any voluntary work activity in respect of whom section 3C does not apply.
(2) The person for whom such a volunteer does the work activity should take all practicable steps to ensure the health and safety of the volunteer while he or she is doing the work activity, in particular by taking hazards into account when planning the work activity.
(3) If an inspector becomes aware of a significant hazard relating to the work activity, the inspector must, as soon as practicable, contact the person for whom the volunteer is doing the work activity (or the person's representative) to discuss means of eliminating, isolating, or minimising the hazard.
Sections 3A to 3F were inserted, as from 5 May 2003, by section 6 Health and Safety in Employment Amendment Act 2002 (2002 No 86). See section 31 of that Act as to the general transitional provision.
