Course Overview
The online Foundation Toolbox is a flexible, self-paced version of our CHASNZ/ConstructSafe-aligned course. Designed to provide essential health and safety knowledge, it supports learners preparing for work in the New Zealand construction environment — anytime, anywhere.
Why Complete the Foundation Toolbox?
This course helps construction businesses and workers meet the recommended Site Access Requirements Guidelines, which outline how to manage site access and ensure all workers possess a foundational level of health and safety knowledge.
Workers who are new to the New Zealand construction sector or who haven’t received structured training are strongly advised to complete a recognised foundation course. Site managers and employers are expected to confirm that workers have received appropriate training.
The Foundation Toolbox course is one of the endorsed options for meeting this requirement.
