Health & Safety

It's key to our operational efficiency and reliability. It's central to our customer reputation and to our industry standing. There is no moment in the day or night, 24/7, when we relax our focus or grip on Health & Safety.

The results are plain. McLeod is at the leading edge of the NZ crane industry in Health & Safety. There are no two ways about it.

In 2012 we were winners of the New Zealand Health & Safety Awards: Best Health & Safety Initiative by a Small Business. We were also a finalist in the 2013 Awards. 

In 2013 we were winners in the Site Safe New Zealand Construction Health and Safety Awards: The MSA Leadership Award for small,medium or large businesses.

In 2014 and 2015 we were finalists in the New Zealand Health and Safety Awards: ACC best leadership of an industry sector or region.

No other NZ crane company has achieved these accolades.  We believe no other works harder to earn them.
