What Makes Us Different?
Practical, Real‑World Expertise
We focus on what works. With over 15 years of hands‑on experience across New Zealand’s primary industries, we understand the realities of production, people, and safety. Our systems are built to fit your business — not the other way around.
Integrated Management Systems
Instead of creating separate, siloed systems, we specialize in integrating:
ISO 9001 Quality
ISO 14001 Environment
ISO 45001 Health & Safety
HACCP & food safety
ICAM investigations
Hazardous Substance
This reduces duplication, simplifies processes, and makes your systems easier for your team to use every day without reinventing the systems.
People‑First Approach
A system only works if people use it. We design management systems that are clear, practical, easy to follow, and fit your workplace. Enjoy better engagements, results, and smoother audits.
ISO Integrated Management Systems
We align with New Zealand legislation, industry expectations, and the way local businesses actually operate. UpSafer brings knowledge of how ISO standards interact with NZ requirements, ensuring your system is both internationally certified and locally compliant.
We understand how ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 connect with:
New Zealand legislation
WorkSafe expectations
Risk Management (IECISO 31010:2019)
Local industry practices
This means your ISO systems is practical, audit‑ready, and fully aligned with the New Zealand and ISO standards context.
Lead Auditor Insight
UpSafer is led by a certified ISO Lead Auditor. That means:
You know exactly what auditors look for

Through ISO Integrated Management Systems, UpSafer helps organizations connect their people, simplify and strengthen their systems, and build a safety culture that genuinely works, "not just on paper", but in everyday operations.
Our Journey
UpSafer was established based on three core principles:
People. Safety. Systems.
These principles guide every engagement and reflect my commitment to practical, people-focused solutions that deliver lasting value.
With over 15 years of experience across the New Zealand dairy sector, grounded in hands-on farming in the Taranaki region, I developed a strong understanding of practical operations, risk management, and the importance of systems that support people in the manufacture industry.
Progressing into leadership roles, I led teams and delivered successful projects across agriculture, and later expanded my capabilities during the COVID-19 period by completing a Diploma in Workplace Health and Safety Management, gaining experience in the construction sector, and understanding the importance of systems that support people rather than slow them down.
UpSafer was created to change that across Aotearoa New Zealand, building practical, integrated management systems in ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, with simpler, more connected systems that reflect how organizations actually work.
Let’s build systems that work — for your people, your safety, and your business.
