Push Play on Health and Safety

Get your health and safety up to speed with our special offer on our new online Foundation Passport – Building Construction. During the COVID-19 lockdown, Site Safe has been working to support the industry by developing a suite of fully online courses designed to give businesses the flexibility they need to get back to work during this challenging time. The new fully online version of our most popular entrylevel course, the Foundation Passport – Building Construction (Online), means learners can complete their health and safety training anywhere, anytime, using their own device. As this is an interactive self-paced course, learners can complete it when it’s most convenient for them. Successful completion of the online course will renew Site Safety Cards (Passports). Key topics covered include how to keep yourself safe, understanding and controlling risk, as well as the basic hazards found on most construction sites, and the relevant legal requirements for workers. To celebrate this milestone, we’re offering a special launch discount of 20% off for a limited time only. This is in addition to any Site Safe membership discount.

Our suite of online courses is growing all the time – currently it includes: • Risk Management (Webinar) • Leadership in Safety (Webinar) • Training and Supervising

Workers (Webinar) • Passport Plus – Flexi (Online + Webinar) To enrol now, go to sitesafe.org.nz Learners are encouraged to download the Site Safe app https://www.sitesafe.org.nz/ guides--resources/site-safeapp/ so they can receive their Site Safety Card (Passport) electronically.

I Have the Tools to Help You

I just need to know which one to hand you first… Andy Burrows, NZCB National Partner and Director of The Trades Coach here … the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our world dramatically in a very short time. We are getting on top of the health threat issue, but that’s just the start. The resultant recession will continue to change the construction industry in New Zealand for months to come, or even longer. It will also bring opportunities, but only if you are in a position to take advantage of them. To make sure my business coaching services are as relevant to your needs as possible, I would really appreciate you taking a 5-minute survey to list your main challenges right now and what challenges you see coming up for you in the next 3 to 12 months. I can then make sure I have the best solutions available for you and will be able to deliver maximum value.
