HEALTH & SAFETY ADVICE

Got a Health & Safety question?

Sometimes you don’t need a full consultancy project. You just need to talk to someone who knows Health & Safety.

Winsland provides practical Health & Safety advice and guidance to New Zealand SMEs. If you’re unsure what the law requires, how to manage a particular risk or what you should do next, we’re happy to talk it through.

Initial consultation is free and without obligation.

Sometimes you just need to run something past someone.

A quick conversation can often clarify what you need to do — and what you don’t.

PRACTICAL HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT

You don’t have to be a Health & Safety expert.

Few business owners or managers are experts in every aspect of Health & Safety. Sometimes you simply need to check your understanding, work through a problem or get an independent view before deciding what to do.

That’s where Winsland can help. We work with New Zealand businesses on everything from straightforward questions to more complex Health & Safety issues.

WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH

You may only need help with one particular issue. Or you may need someone to look at the bigger picture. Either way, we can help.

NO BIG PROJECT REQUIRED

Sometimes you just need to talk to someone.

Not every Health & Safety issue needs a formal engagement. You may have received a question from a worker, be unsure about a legal requirement, be considering a new piece of equipment or simply want to check that you’re approaching something correctly.

Give us a call, send an email or arrange a conversation. We’ll help you understand the issue and work out what needs to happen.
