Compliance & Certification
The Duty to Test - is your current supplier compliant?
The Health and Safety at Work Act requires all PCBUs to ensure any system they use is without health and safety risk so far as is reasonably practicable. There is a "duty to test" placed on all PCBUs to verify that systems and materials are fit for purpose and capable of performing as expected.
Safety Nets NZ has worked closely with Massey University School of Engineering and Advanced Technology to independently test all elements of our system — confirming our systems meet the requirements of the Act.
