About Us
Chemsafety is an independent provider of occupational hygiene, hazardous substance management, analytical and environmental services to industry.
Chemsafety was established in 1992 by Dr Michael Gray when the Health and Safety Act was brought in by the New Zealand Government and responsibility for workplace safety was privatised (“users pay policy”).
In 2013 long term employees Janet and Bridgette, and later Paul in 2016, were brought into the company as shareholder directors.
In addition to providing recognition of their dedication to Chemsafety over the years this also solidified a robust succession plan ensuring Chemsafety’s sustainability and availability to our clients for a further generation, and well past the present 30-year mark.
Janet and Paul are closely involved in the day-to-day affairs of the company with Paul the Managing director. Michael maintains a governance role as the Board Chairman.
The philosophy of Chemsafety has been to select top science graduates, send them on advanced external training courses while building their practical expertise through our in-house training programmes where our Senior Consultants mentor them through on-the-job training and a series of competency-based assessments. More recently we have also begun bringing in certified and highly qualified personnel from overseas to further extend and broaden our team’s expertise.
Our team members hold all relevant and required compliance and assessor certifications as required for their work. Our in-house laboratory holds all the usual IANZ certifications that are needed for asbestos, and more uniquely, we are IANZ certified for asbestos surveys.
We are a member of the New Zealand Association of Consulting Laboratories and many of our staff are members of professional organisations such as the New Zealand Occupational Hygiene Society (NZOHS), Hazardous Substance Professionals New Zealand (HSPNZ) and the Health & Safety Association of New Zealand (HASANZ).
We value our many long-term clients, and pride ourselves on providing to them a quality value-based service. Our client base stretches the length of the country, and we are able to provide a consistent nation-wide service to multiple branches of our larger clients.
We are based in Christchurch and we now also have a branch located in the Hutt Valley to be able to better service the lower North Island and Wellington Region.
Operating a Crawler Crane is a specialised skill. On course completion trainees will be able to apply theory and skills in lifting and placing loads with an overhead crawler crane and analyse and evaluate processes, through practical experience.
Senior leaders will have completed initial education on due diligence and legal duties when the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 was enacted but may not have translated this into strategy, or further advanced their processes beyond the initial system changes.
This course is a Health & Safety requirement and operators MUST be certified for using a EWP within the workplace as per the WorkSafe NZ "Best Practice Guide for Mobile EWP's".
We often provide regular staff training sessions and site meetings. We can set up training systems and training sessions for your staff and contractors
This course is designed to inform workers in the construction industry about asbestos, including its uses, health hazards and the safety procedures that should be followed when it is present.
