Resuming Trial Evacuations Under the Covid ...

All businesses are now required to resume trial evacuations or deliver training programmes. In the Orange traffic light setting, businesses need to ensure these are carried out to meet their own six month requirement.

Alert Level Update

Following the Government’s recent announcement regarding the nationwide alert level changes as at 11:59pm on Tuesday 7 September, we would like to give you an update on Safety First’s plan during this time.

As Safety First’s business activities are not classified as an essential service, all trial evacuations and in-person training scheduled for the Auckland region whilst in alert levels 3 & 4 will be cancelled.

The rest of New Zealand is now in alert level 2, however there are conditions in place that restrict our ability to carry out trial evacuations and in-person training, namely physical distancing and crowd gathering of over 50 persons (in internal environments e.g., offices).
