Compliance

The Ranger Compliance Management System was developed in consultation with Total Managers Of Risk (Dunedin) Ltd and focuses on the continual improvement of workplace safety practices. The system's performance is monitored by a Compliance Team made up of management and staff representatives and administered by our Compliance Coordinator.

External expertise is utilised whenever necessary (such as for ensuring HSNO compliance) and an extensive staff training regime is in place. Regular company health and safety meetings provide a forum for discussion where staff is encouraged to raise concerns and suggest improvements.

• As a member of the Workplace Safety Management Practices programme our health and safety systems are externally audited by ACC. We are proud to currently hold tertiary accreditation under this scheme, one of only a few construction companies in New Zealand to have achieved this.
• Alongside our own injury and accident prevention programme Ranger is also a member of Site Safe NZ Ltd. It is company policy that all foremen complete Site Safe Supervisor Gold Card training and that all other operational staff hold current Site Safe Construction Passports.
