It is our number one commitment that all workers have the right to come to work expecting to return home uninjured. This commitment sees us working in consultation with our clients to ensure they also share this obligation, keeping us at the forefront of best practice Health & Safety.
Tradestaff's Health & Safety Policies and Processes
Tradestaff has an industry leading front-end Health & Safety induction which all our workers complete. When a worker is placed onto a site they are provided with additional information which outlines the risks associated with that role. As a result, you can expect workers to arrive on site with a good general knowledge of their H&S responsibilities and equipped with the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). We expect all of our clients to ensure our workers are inducted onto their sites prior to commencing work.
To make sure that Tradestaff staff are safe staff, Health & Safety and injury prevention are a major part of our recruitment process. All workers go through a robust induction which covers:
A full interview process:
Work-related reference checks.
H&S guidelines, training and testing.
Medical declaration.
Pre-employment drug and alcohol testing as required.
Criminal record check if required.
Driver license check if required.
Risk and hazard identification.
Once assigned, we constantly monitor and communicate with workers and clients to ensure that everybody is keeping safe onsite. We know that by consulting, coordinating and cooperating together we keep lines of communication open and honest which is in the best interest of our workers, our clients and Tradestaff.

Health & Safety Policies
HSWA Act and duties of PCBU's
The aim of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) is to reduce the number of workers in New Zealand killed or seriously injured at work. It sets out that those who ‘create the risk must manage the risk’, so whether you are a sole trader or a multi-national company, this applies to you as a “Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU)”. PCBU’s have a ‘primary duty of care’ to ensure that workers and others are not put at risk by its work.
We have a solid understanding of HSWA and will work successfully with you to ensure the Health & Safety of all workers who are working in your business. Tradestaff can provide assurance to you that all candidates supplied will have been through a robust recruitment and selection process, and compliance expectations will have been thoroughly verified.
SiteWise Accreditation:
SiteWise is a reputable prequalification system that grades PCBU’s health & safety capability and publishes that grade in a database that can be viewed by main contractor’s and principal organisations.
