You are standing on site. A hazard has been identified. Maybe it is traffic near workers.Maybe it is working at height.Maybe it is excavation or heavy plant movement. Now the real question comes: “Is this control reasonably practicable under HSWA?” This is where many business owners hesitate. Too much control feels heavy.Too little control feels…

You’ve probably heard this phrase before. “Do what is reasonably practicable.” It sounds legal.It sounds formal.And for many business owners in New Zealand, it feels unclear.

Machinery is moving.Vehicles are entering and exiting.Workers are focused on their own tasks.One crew is excavating.Another is fencing.Someone else is delivering materials. And everyone assumes someone else has “the big picture.” This is where problems start. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) in New Zealand,…

You have a contractor on site.Or maybe three. The principal contractor says they are “handling safety.”The subcontractor assumes someone else is in charge.The client thinks it’s covered. And everyone quietly hopes nothing goes wrong. Sound familiar? Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) in New Zealand, this situation is called overlapping duties.…

A1 Orchard Spreading & Landscaping Supplies Limited (GlobalGAP/GRASP)
My husband and I recently bought a business spreading fertiliser and compost on orchards and land. One part of the business that seemed overwhelming to us when we started was the health and safety aspect, meeting GlobalGAP and a range of compliance requirements.
“We were introduced to Esther from Waysafe and the rest is history. We went into the business with no health and safety manual and compliance; within just a week she had us well on our way. She travelled over an hour to do it all in person so we knew what was expected from us, she came to all our audits and worked tirelessly in the background making sure we were completely compliant before our busy season started.
I honestly don’t know how we would have achieved this without Esther. Her knowledge within our industry is nothing short of exceptional. Her commitment to health and safety is next to none and she is hands down the best professional we have dealt with in our journey of being new business owners. I can’t recommend her enough, she is an absolute asset to our business that we can’t do without.
Dannae and Cain Baker”
