Safetycare NZ Ltd was founded in 1998, in response to growing demand from employers for independent, straight talking expertise in advancing business safety management.
Tony Walton - founder and director of Safetycare, has extensive management experience in the workplace safety sector. This experience has enabled Safetycare to successfully engage and influence management on the need to integrate safety leadership into general management practice.
"Tony has worked closely with us for a number of years helping us achieve our ACC WSMP Tertiary and Enviro-Mark Gold certifications. Tony is very responsive to our questions and is a tremendously valuable resource and a source of advice." Ross Adams | Plant Manager | Sonoco New Zealand
Tony has a tertiary qualification in safety management and is a professional member of the NZ Institute of Safety Management and the Safety Institute of Australia. He has RAB-QSA safety auditing accreditation and is approved by ACC as a Workplace Safety Management Practices auditor. Tony has also undertaken Test Certifier training from the NZ Chemical Industry Council.
In 2008, Safetycare branched out to incorporate Environmental, Quality and Business Sustainability services in addition to their existing Health and Safety portfolio. This growth was sparked by growing worldwide pressure on organisations to become more environmentally sustainable. Business owners too, are becoming increasingly aware of the massive business benefits of ‘going green’.
To achieve this end, Anita Fleming was employed in early 2009 as Safetycare’s new Environmental Management & Marketing Specialist. Anita works closely with businesses to ensure a successful accreditation process (ECO Warranty and EnviroMark) and to provide information and relevant environmental resources. Anita has completed training from The Natural Step (Sustainability 101), EnviroMark NZ and Site Safe. Anita is also studying with Otago Polytech, taking a paper in 'Towards Sustainable Practice' course, beginning in March 2010.
Safetycare also delivers support for the internationally recognised ISO14001 accreditation.
