Tradestaff has just completed another audit with ACC and successfully retained Workplace Safety Management Practice (WSMP) Tertiary level status.

Again, this is recognition of Tradestaff's continued commitment to excellence in Health and Safety management practices.

This is the second successful audit since Tradestaff achieved Tertiary level status in August 2005. This initial application and process and the successful audits have all been completed by Tradestaff's National Health and Safety Manager Amanda Flavell.

Amanda is available on a consultation basis and is qualified to not only complete a pre-audit for any organisation wanting to get into this very rewarding scheme, but can train and educate Health & Safety personnel whose responsibility it will be for ensuring on-going compliance.
