Quality Assurance
In undertaking council and large commercial works Kerb & Channel NZ Ltd provide robust quality assurance framework that provides our clientele with documented verification, inspections and tests throughout the various phases of the construction process as required.
Kerb & Channel is a “Site Safe” member. It is company policy for all staff to obtain their Site Safe Passports through qualifying on a Site Safe Course. This course compliments the company induction process and ensures staff know how to keep themselves and the public safe around heavy machinery and on a construction site.
Health & Safety Management
Our comprehensive Quality Assurance Manual further displays our commitment to providing safe and healthy working conditions for our staff. In addition to the Site Safe Course, the company provides a thorough health and safety induction for new employees that covers our policies on: hearing, eye, head, and foot protection; operating and working around construction plant; excavation and trench protection; working around power lines and cables; traffic management; fire protection and control; and dealing with emergencies in remote locations.
Site-specific health and safety plans are prepared for all our major work sites, with individual site briefings required of all new staff and visitors to those sites.
Environment Management
Protecting the environment is now a very important issue with the community and, in particular, our local government clientele. Under the framework of Quality Assurance, Kerb & Channel has developed company policies and procedures for dealing with various environmental issues. For example:
- Erosion and sediment control
- Noise, dust and air pollution
- Vibration control
- Dewatering/pumping waste water
- Heritage and archaeology

- Community relations near worksites
- Fuels and chemical storage on site
