Consulting Services
Raise your health and safety onsite.

What Our Health and Safety Consultants Do

We’re a team of qualified advisors working to cut workplace accidents and lift health and safety awareness. We give you detailed advice on setting up workplace health and safety systems, then help you put them to work on your site.

You’ll deal with a person who speaks plainly and knows how work gets done on site. We look at what you’re doing, tell you what needs attention and agree the next steps with you. Our health and safety consulting services cover one site or several, and the standard stays the same across all of them.

How it works

1. Contact us – Tell us your industry, how many sites you have and what you need help with.
2. Receive your proposal – Pricing is on application, so we’ll put a proposal together for you.
3. Meet your advisor – We’ll find a local health and safety advisor with the right qualifications for your work.

Projects can be large or small, one-off or ongoing. We’ll always tell you upfront how long you’ll need to engage us.

Frequently asked questions: Health and safety consultants

What does a health and safety consultant do?

A consultant looks at how your business manages health and safety, then helps you improve it. That might mean setting up systems, auditing what you have, assessing a specific risk or investigating an accident.

How much does a health and safety consultant cost?

It depends on the size and type of work. We price on application, so request a proposal and we’ll tell you upfront how long you’ll need us.

Do I need a health and safety consultant for a small business?

Not always. A quick question can often be answered through our free Ask an Advisor service. A consultant is the better fit when you need systems set up, an audit completed or a specific risk looked at in detail.

Is Site Safe a not-for-profit?

Yes. We’re a national not-for-profit membership organisation, and we’ve worked to improve health and safety in NZ construction since 1999.

Where do your consultants work?

Anywhere in NZ. We have offices in six centres and match you with a local advisor.
