We’re the ones who can provide and supervise the ConstructSafe online testing, giving you and your employees or onsite contractors the qualifications standard which is fast becoming an industry standard.
What is ConstructSafe
ConstructSafe is an initiative put forward by the Construction Safety Council of New Zealand, and we have to say, it’s working really well. Basically, ConstructSafe awards certificates of competency to those who pass the online test, in the form of a ConstructSafe Card.
This card can be scanned by any employer, giving them an instant verification of competency. The system is designed to be flexible, straightforward, and instantly rewarding.
Let’s get engaged. No, not like that. Health and safety policies with team buy-in
In case you hadn’t heard, the latest big push with new legislation is on ‘worker engagement’. It’s not hard to see why either: if your employees or team don’t ‘buy in’ to your company health and safety policies, there’s just no point in pushing it.
If they’re not engaged, you’re wasting your mental energy, your time, and your money! That’s why my first job is to make sure your team get behind the H&S plan for your business.
It’s simple: if everyone understands that we’re all in this together, that we’re working to make sure everyone gets home in one piece at the end of the day, then they’re 100% more likely to actually care.
Northland Health and Safety: throw out the rulebook
When I tell my clients that I’m going to come to site with them, most of the time they look at me like I’m mad. But that’s ok, I’m getting pretty used to it now. I’ve found that sometimes, the only way to move ahead is to go by a different route – so with Safety in Mind, I decided not to work FOR my clients, but to work WITH my clients.
What a difference one word can make
Instead of standing in a room of tradies or employees, preaching rules and regulations to them, I now find out what makes their business tick first. I get to know their unique needs, and once I feel that I understand the ins and outs of their working days, I put together Health and Safety training that will actually make sense for them.
The other side of the with and not for argument, is that health and safety is an ongoing process, and it needs input and – here’s that word again: engagement to get the pony through the gate.
We’re here to create systems, train teams and advise on solutions – but we can’t maintain a system that’s not being followed, and if your team is uninspired, then none of this will work.
