The Company

Hazard Pro Removals: New Zealand Asbestos & Remediation Experts

Achieving ISO 45001 through BSI helped Hazard Pro maintain its Class A license, strengthen safety management and support business growth.

Auckland-based Hazard Pro is an environmental remediation specialist serving New Zealand's North Island. The business provides Class A and B asbestos removal, mould remediation, contaminated soil clean-up, testing and clearance services.

The Challenge

Building the systems, knowledge and credentials needed to secure a Class A licence and support ambitious business growth.

Hazard Pro needed ISO 45001 certification to obtain a Class A asbestos removal licence, demonstrate safety leadership and unlock larger growth opportunities.

When Shaun Burger and Julia Bodyfelt set out to grow Hazard Pro, they faced a significant challenge. Operating in a highly regulated industry, they needed ISO 45001 certification to secure a Class A licence and undertake complex friable asbestos removal projects. With limited experience in management systems and certification requirements, they needed to build a robust health and safety framework, navigate legislative obligations and demonstrate effective risk management, all within an ambitious timeframe.

The Solution

A structured path to ISO 45001 certification, helping Hazard Pro build a compliant management system and strengthen risk management.

Through expert guidance, gap analysis and a rigorous certification process, BSI helped Hazard Pro achieve ISO 45001 in just five months.

BSI worked closely with Hazard Pro to create a clear roadmap to ISO 45001 certification. Through early guidance, a structured gap analysis and expert auditing, BSI helped the business understand requirements, strengthen its hazard management framework and build a compliant management system. Starting with no formal system in place, Hazard Pro achieved certification within five months, recording zero major non-conformances, zero minor non-conformances and only two opportunities for improvement.
