Governance Structure: Supporting New Zealand Health & Safety Legislation Compliance
Our expert consultants specialise in developing robust governance structures that support requirements of health and safety legislation and other best practice guidance. We collaborate with your organisation to create clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability frameworks to ensure effective governance of health and safety. By doing so, we help you establish a strong foundation for continuous improvement and the overall effectiveness of your health and safety strategy and management systems.

Health & Safety Strategy
Lakes Safety Services specialises in developing tailored health and safety strategies for organisations across various industries in New Zealand. We work closely with you to understand your specific business needs and industry requirements, helping to identify key opportunities and activities that will support your long-term health and safety objectives. Our comprehensive approach supports compliance with due diligence requirement’s and proactively safeguards the well-being of your workforce. By partnering with us, you can create a strategic plan that not only meets regulatory standards but also enhances the safety culture and overall performance of your organisation.
Assurance Activities
Assurance activities are crucial for maintaining a strong health and safety framework and supporting due diligence requirements. Regular monitoring allows you to identify potential problems and risks early, ensuring that your health and safety practices remain effective. By consistently reviewing your processes and outcomes, you are able to demonstrate how you have complied with requirements or taken action where gaps have been identified. These proactive measures not only protect your employees but also reduce the likelihood of incidents and associated costs, ultimately supporting the long-term success and reputation of your organisation. Partner with us to implement effective monitoring and assurance activities that strengthen your organisation’s health and safety culture and compliance.

We can assess your organisation using the SafePlus tools, and help with any corrective actions. SafePlus offers a model of ‘good’ health and safety performance. The toolkit helps both small and large organisations understand their current practices and initiate positive and ongoing change to drive a strong health and safety culture.
