## COMPLIANCE UPDATES
##### REGULATION CHANGES. MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT CAUGHT OUT.
AS/NZS standards get revised, IANZ scopes are updated, WorkSafe issues new guidance, ACOPs change, and Maritime Rules get amended — and the first you hear about it shouldn't be when an inspector arrives. DEG's specialists summarise the changes that matter — what's new, what it replaces, when it takes effect, and what you need to do.
