SAFETY & EQUIPMENT

SAFETY FIRST

Safety and modern equipment are fundamental to how we operate at Ongrade. Our SiteWise Gold Status, comprehensive H&S programme, and GPS-equipped fleet enable us to deliver precise, reliable results across Christchurch and Canterbury. Every civil work, deep drainage, excavation or wastewater treatment project benefits from our investment in both people and machinery. That commitment extends to our team’s wellbeing as well, Ongade provides all employees with full cover health insurance as part of our focus on supporting and protecting our people.

In addition to our SiteWise Gold Status, we maintain ACC Workplace Safety Management Practices Secondary Accreditation.

Ongrade maintains a comprehensive equipment and fleet capable of handling projects from compact residential work to large-scale civil infrastructure.
