Safety
Safety is our priority
Working in a high risk industry requires a robust health & safety management system. Our highest priority is that our employees and scaffold users go home safe every day.
iScaff has continuously met the health & safety requirements of the following organisations:
- Gold Accredited Member of SARNZ (Scaffolding, Access & Rigging NZ) Gold accredited members demonstrate the highest levels of quality and safety in the scaffolding industry and have shown to a very high standard that their people, clients and safety culture are of utmost importance.
- SiteWise Gold (100%) by Site Safe SiteWise is a pre-qualification system that grades a contractor’s health & safety capability. With this exceptional score iScaff demonstrated that the company has a very high quality health and safety system in place.
- Impac PREQUAL (85%) PREQUAL combines the experience and expertise of some of New Zealand’s leading health and safety practitioners to provide an effective and affordable cross industry contractor pre-qualification service. iScaff has been independently assessed and can be trusted to work safely and to get the job done.
Inductions
All new employees and temporary workers are inducted to their work and to any significant hazards they might encounter while doing their work. They complete and sign the ‘Workplace and H&S Induction Form’, to ensure they understand their workplace procedures and responsibilities. New staff will receive complete PPE and all of iScaff’s health & safety documents.
Training
We highly value continuous training of our employees implemented through individual training plans, regular assessments and one-on-one feedback meetings. iScaff offers scaffolding apprenticeships in collaboration with Skills and through the government’s Gateway model iScaff supports school students’ transition into the workforce.
Drug Testing
iScaff is committed to create and maintain a drug and alcohol-free working environment. We do pre-employment and regular random drug and alcohol testing conducted by an independent nationally accredited provider.
Risk Management
Our job includes performing daily higher-risk activities as such we have a comprehensive yet easy to use and effective risk management system in place. iScaff’s crews complete each day a ‘Safe Work and Rescue Plan’ and a ‘Site Hazard and Risk Register’. This is supported by regular site and crew audits by the iScaff management.
Scaffolding User Instructions
To ensure all authorized scaffolding users are operating in a safe and compliant manner, we distribute our ‘Scaffolding User Instructions’ to each client upon completion of their scaffolding.
