WorkSafe New Zealand consulted on a proposed safe work instrument (SWI) that would set a 10-year test interval for seamless steel cylinders manufactured after 1930. 

We invited feedback on the proposed requirements, to help determine whether the proposed periodic test interval is suitable for seamless steel cylinders. 

The deadline for receiving submissions was 5pm on Friday 20 September 2024.  

Now the consultation has closed, we will consider the feedback, and finalise the SWI. We will publish on WorkSafe’s website a summary of the submissions we received and any changes made to the proposed SWI.

We will present the final SWI to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety for consideration. If the Minister approves the SWI, we will publish the SWI on WorkSafe’s website.
