Quality Management – ISO 9001:2015

Totika Supplier Pre-qualification
Health and safety pre-qualification is a crucial aspect of the procurement process, and we are proud to be fully pre-qualified through the Tōtika scheme.
What is Tōtika? It creates a fair and equitable scheme with the objective that suppliers only need to pre-qualify ONCE instead of duplicating effort for each new client and opportunity through:
One universal standard – which provides a single source and a common view for H&S pre-qualification
One cross recognition framework – that recognises external audits of suppliers as an alternative
External assessment and certificate schemes – through recognition of ISO 45001 certification, SafePlus On-Site Assessments and Q-Safe
By participating in Tōtika, we demonstrate our ongoing commitment to maintaining exceptional health and safety practices across all our projects.
