The New Zealand-owned engineering and design consultancy, Harrison Grierson, recently made health and safety history, with the highest score ever recorded in New Zealand for Sitewise certification.
The company scored an impressive 99 per cent with 153 out of 155 possible points for its annual health and safety assessment.
Harrison Grierson’s HSE manager, Amandeep Kaur, says the company was “very proud” of its achievement, which reflects its “strong commitment” to workplace safety.
Harrison Grierson employs over 300 people in six offices across New Zealand. It is New Zealand’s oldest established engineering consultancy and works in four key market sectors: Land and Buildings, Water and the Environment, Utilities and Transport.
SiteWise is an online prequalification system that grades contractor’s health and safety capability and publishes that grade in a database.
It was created in response to the influx of construction contractors and subcontractors into Christchurch after the Canterbury earthquakes. After success in Canterbury, the system was rolled out nationwide.
