New Zealand: No Jab No Job Mandates

Good advice from an HSE specialist: under a no jab no job mandate from your employer?

File a hazard incident report saying you are experiencing SERIOUS HARM, and psychological duress from the Covid-19 jab mandate. DO NOT SAY STRESS, or MENTAL HEALTH to prevent the employer using that to put you on stress leave or to use mental health provisions available to them (saying you are a hazard under HSE legislation).

Better to say losing sleep, experiencing anxiety, experiencing bullying in any form such as verbal, touching or pushing whether by workmates or management. Log them all.

File the complaints under SERIOUS HARM in your incident report; this then MUST be reported to Worksafe. Do this daily.

Follow the advice. The employer must consult with you on this, it is illegal not to. Don't be fobbed off. You are entitled, upon request, to be given a summation of these incident reports, along with the actions the employer took to ELIMINATE this hazard (it cannot be isolated or minimised).

Hint: elimination must be to end the mandate. That's the only way to eliminate the hazard. The employer must act to eliminate, they are legally required to, and sacking you is NOT elimination.

Bill English and Employment Drug Testing

Once again we see why Bill English is unfit to lead New Zealand. He thinks workers are lazy and drug addicted. >>See Labour's reaction here<<  On top of that, he doesn't even know what the law is on drug testing. Here's a guide from the government he leads:

https://www.employment.govt.nz/workplace-policies/tests-and-checks/drugs-alcohol-and-work/

It is the employers responsibility to deliver a safe workplace, and it is better to work on prevention rather than trying to manage the effects of drugs and alcohol. This is the official line.

What do employers need not do? They do not have to test prospective employees nor do they have to randomly test all employees. They cannot even target an individual for a test if that is not provided for in their employment agreement. I score the Prime Minister a D- on this effort. Not only is he a bigot, he's uninformed and stupid as well.

Workplace NZ Busted

So now we know, New Zealand is actually a safer workplace than Australia. The only reason there are more deaths in NZ per capita is because a higher proportion of NZers are working in high risk industries, like forestry. 

Worksafe NZ launched a major advertising campaign which has now been held to be grossly exaggerated.
