Residential Building & Carpentry Health and Safety Management System
A client or a prequalification scheme such as Totika or SiteWise usually asks a residential building & carpentry business for a documented system, not a document per task. This is that system, written to New Zealand law and ready to carry your name.
It holds the manual and policies, the procedures a business is expected to follow, the registers it keeps, and the project paperwork a main contractor asks for before you start. The task documents for residential building & carpentry come with it, covering work such as blank task analysis, site establishment and setout and site mobilisation.
Editable Word and Excel files, delivered as a single download, yours to use on every job you run.

How it works
Buy it and the download arrives straight away. Open the Start Here guide, add your logo and business name, then work through the registers and the parts that describe how you run the work. Once it reflects your business, use it on every job: the licence is per business, not per site.
Who it is for, and how it differs from the Task Analysis Pack
For a residential building or carpentry business that has to show a documented system rather than a document per task, usually because a client or a prequalification scheme asked for one.
The Residential Building & Carpentry Task Analysis Pack is the task documents on their own, one per task, for the crew doing the work. This is the system around them: the manual and policies, the procedures, the registers a business keeps, and the training records. The task documents are included here too, so buying this does not mean buying them twice.
What it is not
A standard editable system written to New Zealand law. It is not certification, and it is not an ISO-aligned template. Certification is a decision for an accredited certification body after an audit of what your business actually does.
The policies name your business, the registers start empty, and the parts that describe how you work have to be made true before any of it means anything. Filling it in for the business you actually run is the work.
Questions buyers ask
Can I put my own logo and business name on it?
Yes. Every document is an editable Word or Excel file with no locked fields and no password. Add your logo in the header, put your business name through the policies, and sign them off as your own.
Is it written to New Zealand law?
Yes. It is written to the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and the General Risk and Workplace Management Regulations 2016, and it uses New Zealand terms and agencies throughout.
Does it include the Task Analyses as well?
Yes. The Residential Building & Carpentry Task Analyses are part of this system, so buying it does not mean buying them again. If the task documents are all you need, the Task Analysis Pack sells them on their own.
Will this get me certified?
No, and nothing here claims it will. This is a standard editable system. Certification is a decision for an accredited certification body after it audits what your business actually does.
What file formats do I get?
Microsoft Word for the documents and Microsoft Excel for the registers, with a Start Here guide. They open in Google Docs, Pages and LibreOffice, though complex tables can shift a little between applications.
