Prequal: What do you need?

Tōtika, SiteWise or SHE Prequal: What do you need?

Most businesses do not search for health and safety prequalification until a customer asks for it.

That is when the questions begin.

Do we need Tōtika?

Will SiteWise be accepted?

What is SHE Prequal?

Health and safety prequalification helps a customer check that a supplier or contractor has suitable systems in place before work begins.

It may review areas such as:

Policies

Risk management

Worker training

Incident reporting

Emergency planning

Plant and equipment

Tōtika is a recognised New Zealand health and safety prequalification framework.

It is not only for large construction companies.

Tōtika can apply to sole traders, trades, transport operators, manufacturers, suppliers, professional services and many other industries.

The assessment should reflect the size of the business, the work being completed and the risks involved.

SiteWise and SHE Prequal are other prequalification options used in New Zealand.

Some customers may request a specific scheme. Others may accept more than one option.

Before starting an assessment, ask your customer which prequalification they require.

This can prevent your business from completing the wrong assessment or paying for unnecessary work.

In some cases, existing prequalifications or certifications may reduce duplication.

However, the documents must still be current, relevant and suitable for the work your business performs.

Qualify365 provides Tōtika prequalification assessments for New Zealand businesses.

The assessment is matched to your business size, work activities and risk profile.

Our assessors provide clear feedback and practical guidance throughout the process.

The goal is simple.

Help your business demonstrate that its health and safety systems are suitable, current and working in practice.
