What is Tōtika?

Tōtika pre-qualification is a system developed by Construction Health and Safety New Zealand (CHASNZ) to assess and verify the health and safety capabilities of contractors. It aims to provide assurance that these organisations meet specific health and safety standards and have the necessary systems in place to manage risks in their operations.

With a designated NZ contact and a team of experienced auditors, Avetta will help you through the process from start to finish. We take pride that our response time is also impressively fast, with a turnaround of 10 working days.

Once pre-qualified against the Tōtika standard you will have the edge over competitors proving to clients that you take health and safety seriously, all your policies and procedures have been independently assessed and you are committed to doing the right thing.

If you are still unsure of what category your organisation falls under, you can use this helpful tool or contact us using the details below.

If your organisation is ISO45001 accredited by an IAF Accreditation Body Member for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems, then you do not require a prequalification assessment. You can visit totika.org directly to upload your ISO45001 document and once verified you will be listed in its database.
