Vehicle Inspection New Zealand (VINZ) has confirmed it will continue to offer services under the level 3 restrictions imposed on Auckland.
One of the big questions when the industry entered level 3 was the availability of registration services.
VINZ chief executive Sean Stevens says they will be open, though following measures similar to the previous COVID-19 response.
This means:
•All branches (both in Auckland and National) will reinstate an internal tracking app process today.
•Auckland branches will reinstate the social distancing and PPE processes used throughout the previous level 3 alert. This will mean all customers will be required to maintain social distancing and we will instruct commercial drivers to stay in their vehicles.
•PPE has already been deployed within the sites and VINZ have reinstated staff tracking including taking temp readings daily.
TransportTalk also understands compliance inspections will continue with VINZ involvement which is crucial as there is a large amount of stock on the ground and another ship in today.
VINZ also points out:
Level 3 restrictions allow businesses to open provided they have a safety plan and do not physically interact with the customers.
Level 2 restrictions allow businesses to open provided they have contact tracing and ensure social distancing is in place.
