We Partner with the Construction and ITO Industry

The Construction industry maintains an on-going and vital stake in ensuring the continued improvement of Site Safe training courses.

Because Site Safe training is designed specifically for the construction workforce, we engage industry experts in the development of each training module.

Ongoing quality assurance is maintained through:

  • Course evaluation form review and feedback
  • Regular evaluations and appraisals of trainers
  • Analysis of assignment pass rates and moderation of assignment markers for consistency in assessment
  • Engaging with industry individuals once a year to moderate course assessment material
  • Engage ITOs to moderate and assess unit standard performance against specific performance criteria

 

You’ll Receive a Quality Training Experience

When bringing new trainers on board they are assessed on:

  • Their training and facilitation skills
  • Construction and health and safety expertise
  • Industry background
  • Their health and safety qualifications and accreditations

Every trainer follows a thorough induction programme prior to delivering their first course.

You'll Receive a Site Safety Card (Passport)

This Site Safety Card is awarded to people who have successfully completed a Site Safe approved training course that provides site access to many construction sites in New Zealand.

Adopting the Site Safety Card (passport) as a site requirement is an effective way an employer, main contractor or client can help meet their legal responsibility to ensure that employees and contractors are not harmed while carrying out their work.

The Site Safety Card comes in a range of colours (white, silver and gold to indicate the level of the training), and replaces Site Safe’s range of passport and certificate cards.

Both these new cards, and any older-style Site Safe cards with a valid expiry date can be used to gain access to construction worksites in NZ.
