  • Safe work procedures for your main jobs and machines
  • Accident and incident reporting set up, so nothing gets missed

Safety Training

Training that changes what people do on the job

Rules on paper don't stop accidents. People who know what to do do. Our hands-on courses run at your workplace, so your team practises with the equipment and in the spaces they use every day.

What you get

  • Courses chosen for the hazards on your site
  • Practical exercises, not just slides
  • Sessions for crews, supervisors and managers
  • An attendance list for your safety records

Good for: new staff, teams with new equipment, and any workplace that wants fewer near-misses.

Compliance Support

Be ready before the inspector arrives

When an OSH officer from the Ministry of Labour visits, you want to show a safe site and the right paperwork. We check your workplace against the Occupational Safety and Health Act before they do, and help you fix what is missing.

What you get

  • A gap check of your site and your documents
  • A clear fix list, most urgent items first
  • Help with records, registers and notices
  • Preparation for an inspection or a client audit
  • Support after an inspection report

Good for: businesses expecting an inspection, and contractors whose clients ask for safety documents.

Risk Assessment

Know what could hurt someone, and what to do about it

A risk assessment shows the hazards at your workplace, how likely and how serious each one is, and what you will do about it. We walk your site with you, talk to the people doing the work and write it down in plain language.

What you get

  • A site walk-through with your supervisor
  • Every hazard rated by likelihood and severity
  • Control measures you can afford and actually carry out
  • A short written report with priorities
  • A review date, so the assessment stays current

Good for: new premises, new equipment or processes, after an incident, or when a client or insurer asks for one.

Worker support

Help after an accident, for the worker too

An accident doesn't end when the report is filed. Injured workers need to know their rights, and staff who are struggling need someone to talk to.

For injured workers

Accident Investigation

Injured on the job and not properly compensated? We investigate what happened, explain your rights and help you go after the compensation you are owed.

What you get

  • An investigation of the accident: what happened, who saw it and what was reported
  • Advice on your rights as a worker injured on the job
  • Help to claim the compensation you should have received
  • Straight answers about your options before you decide anything

No upfront payment – you don't get paid, we don't get paid.

Ask about your case

For staff and employers

Staff Counselling

Counselling sessions for staff who are struggling after an accident, trauma or substance use, before it takes over their health, their home life and their work.

What you get

  • One-to-one counselling sessions, in private
  • Support after a workplace accident or a traumatic event
  • Help for staff dealing with alcohol or drug use
  • Book sessions for a staff member, or ask for yourself

If someone is in immediate danger, call emergency services.

Common questions

Before you message us

What does the OSH Act expect from my business?

In short: a safe workplace, safe equipment, and workers who are trained and informed about the risks of their job. What that means in practice depends on your type of work. A gap check shows exactly where you stand.

How much does a risk assessment or training cost?

It depends on the size of your site, the type of work and the number of people. Send us a WhatsApp message with your type of business and team size, and we will tell you what it would cost before anything is booked.

Can you help after an accident?

Yes. We help you look at what happened, put measures in place so it does not happen again, and train the people involved.

Do we have to stop work while you visit?

Usually not. We plan site visits and training around your working hours as much as possible.
