Scaffolding, Access & Rigging New Zealand (SARNZ) welcome Workdek as its newest Gold Partner. The partnership contributes to SARNZ’s mission to raise standards of safety, professionalism, and innovation across the construction sector.
Scaffolding, Access & Rigging New Zealand (SARNZ) is the national membership body representing the scaffolding, rigging, rope access, and temporary works industries across Aotearoa.
Our purpose is to advance safety, training, and standards across the sector by advocating for our members at the highest levels of government, regulatory bodies, and industry. We work to ensure that our specialist trades are recognised, supported, and represented in policy, licensing, and workforce development.
Through collaboration, industry leadership, and ongoing engagement, SARNZ supports members with up-to-date guidance, training alignment, and opportunities to connect and grow. At our core, we exist to elevate the professionalism, visibility, and safety of the people and businesses that build New Zealand — from the ground up.
Workdek (www.workdek.com) has developed a modular building platform system that prevents falls from height, increases onsite productivity, and provides a safer working environment for builders and contractors. Over the past four years, Workdek has grown its national footprint through a network of franchisees, with its platform now trusted across residential and commercial projects throughout New Zealand.
SARNZ CEO, Tina Wieczorek, says of the partnership, “We are delighted to have Workdek join us as a Gold Partner. The Workdek system delivers demonstrable health and safety benefits on construction sites and is aligned to our goal as an organisation to improve safety industry-wide. Workdek share the same goals for industry by improving safety through internal fall protection, which is reflected in the quality and innovation of their products.”
Workdek Founder and Director David Grigor added, “We are thrilled to partner with SARNZ, who do such an excellent job representing the sector. From day one, our goal has been to work with industry to drive systematic change—helping builders be more productive while ensuring they get home safely at the end of each day. We look forward to working with the scaffolding sector to make decking available to all building sites throughout the country.”
This partnership will see SARNZ and Workdek collaborating to better the industry and provide members with more options for trusted products and services.
