Tōtika Accredited
What is Tōtika?
Tōtika is New Zealand’s nationally recognised health and safety prequalification scheme. It provides a single, consistent standard for assessing how well a business manages health and safety — replacing the need for multiple, duplicated audits.
What Tōtika accreditation means for you
Being Tōtika accredited means our health and safety systems have been independently assessed and verified against nationally agreed criteria. In practical terms, this shows that we:
- Have robust health and safety policies, procedures, and risk management processes in place
- Actively identify, manage, and reduce workplace risks
- Meet the expectations of government agencies, councils, and major commercial organisations
- Are committed to protecting our people, your people, and the environments we work in
Why it matters
For our clients, Tōtika accreditation provides confidence and peace of mind. It demonstrates that health and safety isn’t just a compliance exercise for us — it’s embedded in how we operate every day, on every site.
It also means faster onboarding, fewer administrative hurdles, and assurance that you’re working with a supplier that meets nationally recognised best-practice standards.
