About Zest Safety
Our Mission
At Zest Safety, our mission is to make all New Zealand workplaces safer places to work. We achieve this through three core initiatives:
​Bespoke H&S Consultancy Services:
We simplify your health and safety requirements, enabling you to engage your workforce and enhance your organization's safety culture. Our team of qualified and experienced professionals provides tailored health, safety, and environmental (HSE) services. We break down complex matters into easily understood and manageable safe systems of work, ensuring that your safety practices are both effective and sustainable.
​
Free Occupational H&S Management System Resources:
To support every NZ business, we offer a library of free resources, including policies, standards, procedures, and factsheets. We are committed to building this comprehensive Occupational Health and Safety Management System using a portion of our profits, making these essential tools accessible to all businesses at no cost.
​
Advocacy and Assistance for Families of workers who died due to a workplace accident:
We are dedicated to raising awareness, advocating for, and assisting the families of workers who have tragically lost their lives due to workplace accidents. We allocate a portion of our profits to support these families, providing them with the necessary resources and assistance during their time of need.
Our mission at Zest Safety is to foster a culture of safety across New Zealand workplaces, ensuring that every worker returns home safely. By partnering with us, you not only enhance your own safety practices but also contribute to a larger effort to improve workplace safety nationwide.
