We are committed to ensuring that everyone on and around our sites is safe.

Innovative systems, extensive experience

Health and Safety is a hot topic in New Zealand, with increasing statutory requirements for everyone associated with a project. We are well placed to embrace this change at Naylor Love, with innovative health and safety systems and consistently excellent results in internal and external safety audits and inspections.

We are committed to ensuring that everyone on and around our sites is safe, with extensive experience in sensitive live environments such as hospitals and schools, high security environments such as prisons, and high risk environments such as airports.

Our specialist team of Health and Safety Managers take a hands-on approach on site. They also oversee our regional Health and Safety committees, ensuring excellent levels of staff engagement. Everyone at Naylor Love is sent a weekly report of incidents, accidents and near misses – lessons learned are quickly propagated through the whole company.

H&S results from our 2021 staff survey:

I have the knowledge and skills to do my job safely 95%
I am encouraged to speak up if I feel something is unsafe 93%
The safe work procedures training I've received enables me to do my job safely 87%

Setting the bar high

We specify our high expectations for health and safety right from our first contact with prospective subcontractors, and reinforce these on site for both our subs and staff with a comprehensive on-going programme of safety meetings and training, regular inspections, audits and reporting, and recognition for exceptional performance.

The standards we expect all subs & suppliers to comply with.
