Mathew Jack experienced this first hand when he took a course in heavy automotive engineering at our Timaru campus. After Mathew completed his eight-month course, he found employment with Smallbone in Ashburton, where he lives.

He says the “excellent training” he received prepared him well for the job. “It set me up to excel in an exciting and demanding career.” In Timaru, we’ve got programmes in engineering trades, electrical, automotive and painting and decorating starting in February. You can learn all about them here.

Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

New Zealanders are embracing the reusable bag ahead of a plastic bag ban, but they could be carrying something else around – bacteria.

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."

Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here

*Employers: Are your H&S policies and guidelines up to date?

*Employees: Have you suffered an accident at your work place?

North Island Mussel company is fined with over $250K after worker loses eye in an accident which could have been prevented if they were following the correct Health and Safety procedures.

From that amount only $60K is reparation for the worker which is way too low for an injury that will affect his life forever. The injury was so bad that not even a prosthetic eye could be fitted.

Contact Paul Now to find out how he can help you and avoid a big fine to your company or a low reparation for your injury.
