For operators and education providers
Everything a provider needs to operate safely and compliantly
Good practice resources, safety management templates, activity safety guidelines, Technical Advisors, and step-by-step operator journeys — drawn together from across the sector so you don't have to hunt for them.
Good Practice & Resources
Safety management systems, risk assessment templates, regulations, incident reporting, and new operator onboarding. Content structured by what you need, not by which organisation produced it.
Activity Guidelines
One page per discipline — qualifications required, ASG guidelines, Technical Advisors, current jobs, and upcoming training dates. Everything about one activity in one place.
Technical Advisors
Find a WorkSafe-approved Technical Advisor for your activity. Required under the Adventure Activity Regulations for your three-yearly safety audit. Filter by discipline and region.
Adventure Activity Regulations
What the Health and Safety at Work (Adventure Activities) Regulations require, who they apply to, a regulatory timeline, and direct links to WorkSafe guidance and NZ Legislation.
Inclusive Practice
Frameworks, guides, NZ case studies, and support organisations for welcoming disabled participants. 1 in 4 NZers identify as disabled — and 72% want more outdoor recreation.
