TIA has worked with operators, WorkSafe and MBIE to create this minimum standard. It sets out the minimum requirements for the development of a COVID-19 safety plan. All operators who intend to be open for business under the COVID-19 Protection Framework, or have staff on site, must prepare their plans in accordance with this minimum standard.
