Worried about health and safety? Don’t have a system or need to bring an existing system up to date?

Palmerston North Health and Safety can customise a health and safety system to fit your business needs, which is computer based for ease of access and use.

As a member of the New Zealand Institute of Safety Management, registered as a technician, PN Health and Safety will guide you through the process so you have a full understand­ing of how the system works and what is required to keep it compliant under the 2015(HSAW) Act.

“The major part of my business is working with small to medium businesses to help them comply with the new Health and Safety Act,” says PN Health and Safety owner Barry Parker.

“I help them to make practical steps to making the workplace safer.”

If you already have an existing health and safety system that requires updating to meet the new Acts, Barry can help you in both areas and take the stress out of the process.

“After Pike River, the commission got together and realised that the existing act wasn’t working, it was compliance driven rather than about prevention.”

The Health and Safety Work Act 2015 was introduced in April 2016.

“I work with businesses to help them comply with that new legislatio­n,” Barry says.

Barry will review your existing health and safety manuals and system with onsite health and safety assistance, policy and procedure developmen­t, hazard and risk assessment, accident and incident investigat­ion, health and safety advice, WSMP assistance, ACC, safety planning (sites specific), assistance with tenders, contractor management and offers electrical testing and tagging using digital equipment that allows the invoice to include a directory of everything tested, acting as an asset register if need be.

“For me it is not just work and deliver. I stay with my clients for the following 12 months so there is that ongoing support as well,” says Barry.

“I am just a phone call away.” ■ Call us now to discuss all your health and safety needs: 06 354-5972, 0274 448 451, email: barry@pnhealthan­dsafety.co.nz, pnhealthan­dsafety.co.nz
