Health & safety
Taking care of our best asset, our people. Keeping everyone safe, fit and well is of the utmost importance, on every site and in every office.
Our people are our greatest asset. Keeping them safe, fit and well comes first.
Keeping our people safe from harm, and fit and well, is of the utmost importance. We support our employees through any and all mental, emotional and physical obstacles they may face.
We follow carefully considered health and safety policies and protocols to mitigate the risks associated with construction, so that everybody can work with peace of mind and return home safe and well.
Everyone who steps onto a Southbase site has a part to play. We expect safety to be led from the top and shared by our teams, subcontractors and partners alike.

We look after our people. From day one, every Southbase employee has access to a comprehensive health and wellbeing package.
- Health insurance
- Life insurance
- Hauora wellbeing payments

Our wellness programme
A culture of family and care is nurtured in our offices and on our sites to ensure everyone is supported to be their best as a person, not just as an employee. This is made possible by our wellbeing programme, which is based on the Māori model of health and wellbeing, hauora, addressing not only physical wellbeing, but mental, social and spiritual too.
Health, safety and the environment
We are committed to maintaining safe and healthy workplace practices to ensure that people, property and the environment are not harmed due to our work activities.
Our goal is to work to prevent all incidents that may lead to injury, illness, property or environmental damage and minimise any potential environmental impact.
We make safety a priority in all of our workplaces and we expect active participation from both management, workers and subcontractors to achieve this.
