The ConstructSafe Scheme

The national standard for health and safety competency for the construction industry, ConstructSafe provides a framework to test and measure health and safety competence.

It allows us to reduce the potential for untrained or inexperienced workers to create a hazardous situation for themselves or others.

This means we can raise health and safety standards of our industry.

By working together, we’re creating a safer and more competent
New Zealand workforce.
