Alert Level Update

Following the Government’s recent announcement regarding the nationwide alert level changes as at 11:59pm on Tuesday 7 September, we would like to give you an update on Safety First’s plan during this time.

As Safety First’s business activities are not classified as an essential service, all trial evacuations and in-person training scheduled for the Auckland region whilst in alert levels 3 & 4 will be cancelled.

The rest of New Zealand is now in alert level 2, however there are conditions in place that restrict our ability to carry out trial evacuations and in-person training, namely physical distancing and crowd gathering of over 50 persons (in internal environments e.g., offices).

What does your risk assessment process cover?
