Rangi is a seasoned, passionate and pragmatic safety practitioner who has worked across a range of industries including aviation, dairy, power, construction, health and forestry, in both manufacturing and corporate environments.

He firmly believes every worker has the right to come to work and return home to their whanau unharmed; to achieve this everyone must take ownership for their own safety and the safety of their workmates.

Rangi’s approach was recognised and acknowledged in his previous role at an Industry and regional level with the company winning the 2023 Workplace Injury Prevention Award (Business South) as well as the Electrical Engineering Association (EEA) Injury Reduction Award.

Unfortunately, Rangi has witnessed the downside of workers becoming complacent and choosing not to adhere to standard operating procedures resulting in serious harm and a fatality in the workplace. These events continue to motivate Rangi to ensure good safety systems and process are developed, understood and well embedded into an organisation.
