Health and Safety Policy			Board of Directors Health, Safety and Wellbeing Charter

Since it was formed in 1999, Site Safe has been influential in creating a positive change in the health & safety culture of New Zealand’s construction industry.

Our overarching goal is for the industry to be proud to be safe and to reduce injury and harm.

To do this, we provide education and resources on best practice systems and behaviours known to improve on-site health & safety. We help develop future health & safety leaders, give advice to businesses on solutions that make a real difference and ensure that everyone goes home safe at the end of each day.

Site Safe operates as a national not-for-profit membership organisation with extensive connections through our members, strategic partnerships and a strong relationship with industry groups. Our nationwide team is dedicated, experienced and passionate about what they do. 

We hold a number of accreditations and employ a team of highly-qualified health and safety advisors.

Our focus is in the health and safety area of the construction industry, where we aim to provide the best leadership, behaviour and systems to support a positive change in the health and safety culture in New Zealand.

To achieve our mission and to help our members and the wider construction industry reach their health and safety goals, we focus on three strategic objectives:

Take the Lead

• The construction industry will be a leader in health, safety, and wellbeing.

Enable Companies

• Companies that have a culture of safety that is embedded in their business practices.

Empower Individuals

• Building the knowledge and confidence of our people so that they can make an effective contribution to keep their workplace safe.

All staff and members uphold our values in the way we work and the way we demonstrate our commitment to each other and to the success of the organisation.
