ROCK HARD SAFETY TRAINING
‘I saw a lot of people given ineffective advice and training in industrial height and confined space safety, then thrown into work situations with little supervision or no ​practical experience.
There was a huge gap in the market in providing effective advice in the correct systems and procedures'.
Rock Hard Safety Training
was established to meet that gap.
Since its inception in 2001 Rock Hard Safety Training has
grown to serve clients throughout New Zealand, including major companies involved in manufacturing, industrial abseiling and equipment inspections.
