Occupational health and safety legislation in Australia and New Zealand has
many common features, including the way in which both countries have been
influenced by UK regulatory initiatives. The most recent example of this is the
Lord Robens' report, Safety and Health at Work (1972). The application of the
Robens' recommendations has not only varied between countries but has also
created a great deal of debate. While the Robens Report has had a great deal
of influence on the occupational health and safety of Australia and New
Zealand, traditional approaches to injury and illness reduction are coming
under increasing scrutiny and are beginning to be replaced by other
approaches such as total quality management.
