Health and safety in your business should form an integral part of your business planning.  The Health & Safety in Employment Act requires that all businesses manage the health and safety of their employees and all others in the place of work at all times.  This includes identifying and monitoring hazards, risk planning, emergency planning, visitor and contractor management and training and supervision of your employees.
 
Health and safety legislation in New Zealand is non-prescriptive, therefore it outlines what you must do to meet your requirements, but not necessarily how to do it. 

Nerak Consulting offers simple, affordable, user-friendly systems and tools which enables your business to meet legal requirements under the Health & Safety in Employment Act, Codes of Practice, Regulations and other relevant legislation in New Zealand.

Nerak Consulting offers consulting and advising services to all industries in New Zealand, including construction, civil, manufacturing, engineering, retail, hospitality, health, agricultural, transportation and many others.

In addition to this, Nerak Consulting will work with any business from a one-man-band to large corporates.

Safety liaison group meetings are facilitated by Site Safe NZ and are held in major regions on a bi-monthly basis.  There is no cost to attend, however you are required to RSVP your attendance.  Minutes are distributed to all attendees. 

Liaison group meetings are a great opportunity to network with other organisations which operate in the construction and civil industry, share ideas, opportunities and keep up to date with relevant health and safety information.

They are attended by ACC and the Department of Labour, so this is a valuable opportunity to seek answers to any questions you may have.

Meeting minutes are also available at www.sitesafe.org.nz/Section

If you are interested in attending a liaison group meeting in your region, please contact a Site Safe Safety Advisor for further information at www.sitesafe.org.nz/Category
