Health and Safety

As you can imagine, the NZ Electrical Industry sets very high standards for power supply contractors to meet, which means that only highly skilled and competent operators are able to work in that field.

However the team at PowerCable Direct are NZQA accredited and use industry standards for installing and connecting power between our customers and their network supplier, with regular audits to ensure we comply with industry regulations.

We are also a member of the Electrical Registration Board and hold the advanced Level Five Line Mechanic certificate which is why we insist on absolute compliance to ensure the safety of our clients and of course our staff.

Finally our staff are Site Safe accredited with current First aid certificates and use a Health and Safely policy which is Network approved.
