Today, the first findings from the review - triggered by the Whakaari eruption - were revealed. WorkSafe has come under increased scrutiny for not providing enough oversight of the sector. Adventure Consultants chief executive Guy Cotter did not want to see safety become more of a box ticking exercise that was more focused on punishing companies than protecting people. He was worried about WorkSafe playing a larger regulating role.

That doesn t lead to an increased level of safety, that just is more of a burden on the operator, Cotter said.
