Z Series – minimum standards

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi – Z-Series of quality management specifications are now contract specific.  The Z01 series replace the current NZTA Z01 standard for quality management plans.  See the table of links to documents below.  

NZTA Waka Kotahi health and safety related documents Z/5 and Z/13 and its associated links are now out of date and do not align to current good practice in contractor health and safety management.

Health and safety management should be a shared responsibility, with a greater need for the Transport Agency to lead its downstream contractors in working together to manage risk.

The Contractor health and safety expectations document forms part of a wider contractor management process currently being developed that encourages downstream contractors to take ownership for risks to health and safety, work with other contractors to manage risk. It also empowers them to use innovation, their experience and knowledge when managing these risks.

Contractor health and safety expectations: Guidance for supply chain partners

Note:

• The NZTA Z/1 - Standard for Quality Management Plans has been split into 6 contract specific quality management specifications, forming the Z01 series (Z/1A to Z/1 F)
• NZTA Waka Kotahi contractor health and safety expectations will replace Z5, Z13, the Zero Harm portal and all previous Zero Harm related health and safety minimum standards. All other Z documents remain in effect.
