HASANZ

What HASANZ does

HASANZ (Health and Safety Association of New Zealand) is the umbrella organisation representing workplace health and safety professions across Aotearoa New Zealand. It operates as a non-profit professional association headquartered in Wellington, functioning primarily as an industry body rather than a technology or services vendor. Its core offerings centre on the HASANZ Register — a national, searchable database of qualified workplace health and safety advisers that organisations can use to find verified professionals across defined disciplines — supplemented by scholarships, training programs, an annual conference, industry advocacy, research, and professional development resources.

The organisation operates a membership-based model, bringing together affiliated professional associations under a single national umbrella. Member associations adhere to standardised discipline definitions maintained by HASANZ, and the Register serves as a verification mechanism that links qualified advisers to organisations seeking compliance, advisory, or training services. HASANZ also acts as an industry convener, running events such as the biennial HASANZ Conference (HASANZ 2024, HASANZ 2026), forums (e.g., GM Safety Forum, Health & Safety Education Forum), and initiatives such as the Health & Safety Generalist career pathway and the HASANZ Miller Foundation scholarships. Underlying technology is minimal — the Register is delivered via a web portal (hasanz.org.nz) rather than a proprietary platform, and no APIs, integrations, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

From a business model perspective, HASANZ is supported through membership fees from affiliated associations, conference revenues, scholarship sponsorships, and likely grants or government-aligned funding (given its role as a recognised national body and its positioning around ACC subsidies and 2026 health and safety reforms). No pricing is publicly disclosed, no revenue figures are available, and the organisation is described as having 1–10 employees, indicating a lean operating structure. Customer segments split between individual workplace health and safety professionals (seeking registration, credentials, and development) and organisations/employers (seeking verified advisers and training pathways).

Others

• New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA): NZ government body overseeing qualifications and credentials. NZQA is an adjacent enabling regulator for HASANZ's scholarship, training, and discipline-definition activities.
• WorkSafe New Zealand: NZ's primary workplace health and safety regulator. WorkSafe is the policy counterpart that HASANZ interfaces with — comparable as an ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor.

Regional players

• Australian Institute of Health & Safety (AIHS): Australia's peak body for H&S professionals. AIHS is the closest geographic and structural peer to HASANZ, providing a registered membership and advocacy model in a neighbouring market.
• Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP): Canada's national H&S credentialing body. BCRSP offers comparable functions to HASANZ's Register — certifying professionals and setting competency standards — within a single national jurisdiction.

Direct peers

• NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health): UK-based awarding body offering H&S qualifications globally. NEBOSH is directly comparable to HASANZ's training and scholarship programmes as a credentials provider for H&S professionals.
• Safety Institute of New Zealand: A New Zealand H&S-focused professional and industry body. SIANZ operates in the same domestic H&S professional-association space as HASANZ's member associations, making it a directly comparable in-market peer.

Broad incumbents

• American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP): Long-established US-based professional society for occupational safety and health. ASSP mirrors HASANZ's role as a membership organisation setting standards and credentialing for H&S practitioners, but at much larger scale.
• International Labour Organization (ILO) - Occupational Safety and Health: UN agency setting global OSH policy and conventions. While supranational rather than a membership body, ILO is comparable to HASANZ at the regulatory-standards end of the same value chain.
• Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH): The world's largest professional H&S membership body. IOSH is a global incumbent in the same professional-association category as HASANZ, serving occupational safety professionals with registration, training, and policy advocacy.

Emerging players

• World Federation of Occupational Safety and Health Professionals (WFOSP): Global federation linking national H&S professional associations. WFOSP operates at the same umbrella-association layer as HASANZ but internationally, representing bodies of which HASANZ is a national member.
