An independent report into WorkSafe has found multiple failings in the way the agency investigates deaths and injuries on the job. Now, a critical report that WorkSafe commissioned into the Niko Brooking-Hodgson case, and four other investigations, has come to light. One inspector told the assessor Jones it would be good if investigators didn't have to deal with victims or their families. The old technology meant investigators spent too much time filling in old-style databases, and many investigative documents "are unable to be shared nationally", the 2019 Jones report said. "We only discovered the issue in the Jones report which was late last year," he told RNZ.
