ABOUT US

WE RECOGNISE THE NEED TO IMPROVE SAFETY BY DESIGN

At ZERO®, we recognise the need for change to improve the safety of those who carry out work in challenging environments. We believe that zero tolerance is essential to the fall protection and safety industry, simply because our lives depend on it.

For over 20 years, ZERO® has been at the forefront of height safety throughout Australasia. Our equipment is the result of extensive global research, innovation and design.

ZERO® Height Safety is 100% New Zealand owned & operated celebrating 20 years of market leadership in fall protection solutions.

The materials used to manufacture our products are largely made in the European Union: fabric, webbing, bias, rope-lines, thread, reinforcements.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

ZERO® Height Safety is an environmentally conscious and responsible brand. To carry out this commitment, it is ZERO® Height Safety’s policy to strive to ensure that all aspects of the organisation have the least harmful effect on the environment by adopting and implementing environmentally sensitive practices in all of its operations. 

The responsibility for managing and maintaining the policy lies with the Managing Director with every team member committed to conservation and energy reduction.

For us here at ZERO®, giving back to our community is important. Volunteering allows our team to have a sense of fulfilment and contribution, we love supporting organisations that are doing great work and whose company values align with our own.

Laura Fergusson Brain Injury Trust - where everyone deserves the chance to live the best life they can. Currently, their services are in demand more than ever, and facilities and residential accommodation options are no longer fit for purpose. Service delivery is also scattered across the city. Their aim is to build one campus where all services are delivered from the same place and
where they can help more people affected by a traumatic brain injury, spinal or other complex injury or disability.
