About Site Safe
We’re a national not-for-profit membership organisation, and we’ve worked to lift health and safety in NZ construction since 1999. Over 5,200 businesses are Site Safe members, and our own health and safety management system is certified to ISO 45001:2018 by Telarc. We want every Kiwi worker home safe to their whānau at the end of each day.
Frequently asked questions: Health and safety advice
Where can I get free health and safety advice?
Put your question to one of our advisors through Ask an Advisor. It’s free, and it’s a good first stop for quick questions about hazards, safety plans or your duties.
Do I need a health and safety consultant?
Often an advisor is enough. A consultant is the better fit for bigger jobs, such as setting up or reviewing your health and safety systems or looking after several sites. Pricing is on application, and we’ll tell you upfront how long the work will take.
What’s in the guides and resources section?
You’ll find practical safety advice, toolbox talks and case studies written for people who work on tools and sites.
Where does Site Safe work?
We’re NZ-wide, with offices in Wellington, Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Christchurch and Dunedin.
Do you only help construction businesses?
Construction is our home ground.
