Health & Safety


The safety of people on or near Hawkins sites is the top priority for Hawkins. It is for this reason that Hawkins is a foundation member of Site Safe New Zealand; the company is committed to a structured Health & Safety policy and we are continually striving for improvement in this area. As a matter of policy the company recognises and accepts its responsibility to ensure that each of its employees and subcontractors shall be provided with a safe and healthy place in which to work. A site specific safety plan is developed for each project.

Included in the plan are:

  • site induction procedures;
  • site safety requirements and toolbox meetings;
  • requirements and procedures for inspection and testing of equipment;
  • hazard identification and hazard control procedures;
  • evacuation plans;
  • site safety audit procedures;
  • accident investigation and reporting procedures; and
  •  subcontractor safety management.

Hawkins is ISO14001 accredited. We are a business with a successful environmental consultancy and will go to any length to ensure the protection of the environment on and around our project sites.

Hawkins is part of the McConnell Group one of New Zealand's largest privately owned construction, property and infrastructure groups.
