55295 (2025). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: Further to her reply to Question 52323 (2025), how does the 287 staff in the WorkSafe New Zealand Inspectorate breakdown by inspectors, managers, technical specialists and support staff?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I am advised the WorkSafe New Zealand Inspectorate currently comprises 285 roles: 200 inspectors; 34 managers; 16 support staff; and 35 technical specialists. Two Coronial Advisor roles were wrongly included in the original response to Written Question 52323 (2005). Those roles do not sit within the Inspectorate.
