This week it’s a timely reminder that asbestos remains New Zealand’s number one workplace killer, claiming around 220 lives every year due to asbestos-related diseases. Despite being banned in 2000, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are still present in thousands of homes, schools, and workplaces built before the 1990s.

Why does this matter?
• There is no safe level of exposure—even small amounts of airborne fibres can cause fatal illness decades later.

Key safety tips:
✔ Always check for asbestos before drilling, sanding, or demolishing.
✔ If unsure, stop work and get a professional assessment.
✔ Follow the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016 for compliance.

We offer NZQA-accredited asbestos safety courses designed for those working in construction, demolition, or any role where asbestos exposure is possible.

On Friday, we celebrated the grand opening of our Wellington Centre of Excellence and we couldn't be more proud! 🎉

The day began with a ribbon cutting by Head of Stakeholder Engagement Glen and Wellington Ops Manager, Nigel. And from there, it was all smiles, good yarns, and it was great seeing people getting involved with our practical training demos. We're humbled by the turnout, and we're so grateful to everyone who came out to make the day special.

This space has been months in the making, built through dedication and genuine care by so many of the VH team. The effort that's gone into building this centre has been huge. Planning, painting, building structures, all the way through to the opening. The Wellington whānau truly are legends.

Feel free to pop down and have a yarn with our crew if you didn't get a chance to come along to the opening. We'd love to show you around!

Here's to the future of training! 🍾

Waihanga Ara Rau is developing New Working at Heights Skill Standards to enhance safety and consistency across industries. They are inviting industry stakeholders, providers, and associations to review the first draft consultation documents and share feedback to shape these standards.

Key skill standards include:

* Core 1: Using a harness with a single anchor (Level 3)
* Core 2: Using a harness in an anchor protection zone, including emergency response (replaces unit standard 23229)
* Core 3: Using structural anchorages for temporary anchors and lifelines (replaces unit standard 15757)

You can review them and the draft consultation documents here: https://www.waihangaararau.nz/for-industry/qualifications-work-in-progress/workingatheightsconsultation/

Join their drop-in sessions on Nov 6, 11, 18, and a providers-only session on Nov 20 to ask questions and provide input. Feedback closes 5pm, Nov 21, 2025.

Pit Stop #4 on

If you thought your week was busy, hold onto your hard hat... the travelling tradie trainer's seen more highways this week than NZTA.

Kicked off Monday in Cambridge with Lift & Move at Spartan Construction. Then Rotorua on Tuesday, with telehandler and W Endorsement at Lakeland Steel. Midweek Wednesday, hit Huntly, training VOC Cranes at Genesis, before Thursday in Tauranga for an Open Course Forklift Refresher. Wrapped it all up Friday in Auckland with some telehandler and W Endorsement with Smith Cranes.

A lesser man would've hit the hay at that point - but not this road cone ranger > Straight to the noodle bar to secure the spicy goods before heading back to catch some footy. 100% footrest elevation guarantee.

The man, the myth, the travelling tradie trainer. Big Ive signing out once again.
