Tōtika is New Zealand’s unified, not-for-profit health and safety pre-qualification system. Developed by the Construction Health and Safety New Zealand (CHASNZ) trust, it allows contractors to undergo a single, standardized assessment that is cross-recognized by multiple hiring clients and member schemes across the country.
Why Tōtika Matters
Before Tōtika, suppliers often had to complete multiple different health and safety assessments (like SiteWise or PreQual) for different clients, which was a huge waste of time and resources. Tōtika solves this by creating a universal standard.By getting Tōtika pre-qualified, your business:Avoids duplication: You only need to pass one assessment to satisfy multiple buyers and tenders.Wins more work: It is rapidly becoming the mandatory or preferred baseline requirement for large construction, civil contractors, and regional councils.Showcases credibility: It independently verifies that your health and safety capabilities meet recognized, best-practice standards.
