Health and Safety Management Systems (HSMS)

Robust Health and Safety Systems

Every business needs a system that works — not just one that ticks boxes.

At Lakes Safety Services, we help businesses of all sizes develop, implement, and maintain practical health and safety systems tailored to their needs. Whether you’re a sole trader or managing a complex site, we design systems that keep your people safe and meet your legal duties.

Our approach is grounded in recognised best practice frameworks and aligned with appropriate New Zealand standards — ensuring your system is practical, auditable, and fit for purpose.

Tailored Health and Safety Systems

Every business is different — and your health and safety system should be too.

At Lakes Safety Services, we don’t use generic templates. We take the time to understand your business, your risks, and your goals — and work with you to develop practical systems that support safe, productive workplaces.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or strengthening an existing approach, we’ll help you build a system that fits your business and aligns with recognised health and safety standards in New Zealand.

Our support includes clear, structured advice, and practical solutions you can actually use — without overcomplicating things or adding unnecessary layers.
