At Tier 1 Interiors we believe that safety is one of the crucial aspects for a business in construction. The most important thing is that our employees make it home safe at the end of each day.
Safety at Tier 1 is overseen by our co-owner Tammy, an experienced health and safety advisor. Qualified with a Level 6 NZ Diploma in Occupational Health & Safety in the Workplace and Safety Systems (OHSMS), she has worked in safety at several companies, and is a member in the Canterbury Safety Charter, prioritising health and safety in every workplace.
