StayLive was founded in 2011 by NZ's five largest electricity generators. Membership has since been extended to include Pioneer Energy, Transpower and the Electricity Engineers' Association as core members. The StayLive initiative has seen competitor companies come together to pool their resources for the single objective to improve health and safety in the industry. The group meets formally every six weeks and the working group leaders provide updates on the current initiatives and where safety alerts and the lessons learned are shared and discussed. Where working groups are able to come to agreement on common approaches, guidelines are prepared for the industry.
