What’s the real ROI of workplace safety? Sure, it could be saving money on repairs or preventing downtime, but for us, we think it has to be trust.

Making sure your employees, contractors, and site visitors feel safe on site has to be the number one return on your safety investment. Of course, costly repairs, downtime, and damage are big decision-making factors when it comes to safety, but beyond that, keeping people safe, preventing loss of income, and showing that their wellbeing is a top priority is what truly matters.

We also know it’s a tough time across multiple sectors, and that’s why we’ve put together our Top 5 Cost-Effective Tru-Gard Safety Solutions. Helping make your workplace safer with less of an impact on your budget. Read on to find out more.

An absolute safety staple, ready for any site. Our bollards are easy to install and built for impact. They can be used to create a range of safety solutions, from lining walkways in retail car parks or driveways as a visual and physical deterrent, to removable options for limiting access. Impact-rated and certified, you can trust that investing in our bollards is an investment in site safety.

The Cost of Doing Nothing: Why NZ Must Step Up in Workplace Safety

The Cost of Doing Nothing: Why NZ Must Step Up in Workplace Safety

Have you ever wondered how safe your workplace really is?What does it say about us as a nation if we can’t protect our people on the job? True or false: the cost of workplace accidents in New Zealand tops $4.4 billion a year.True or false: we lag behind countries like Australia and the UK in health and safety performance.True or false: nearly half of us have been touched by a workplace accident—through ourselves, a colleague, a family member, or a friend? If you guessed “true” to any of these questions, sadly you’re absolutely right. They are all true. A recent RNZ Article confirms the staggering toll: workplace incidents now cost New Zealand over $4.4 billion annually. The human consequences are even worse. Consider this: “Almost 50% of New Zealanders have been affected by a workplace accident, involving either themselves, a colleague, family or friends” Behind these numbers lie real stories of trauma, recovery, and grief. Every injury reverberates far beyond the site of the incident, through families, communities, and the mental health of those who live through it. But the data gets darker when we go deeper: New Zealand’s workplace fatality rate is around 60% higher than Australia’s, and more than five times greater than the UK’s. That means Kiwi workers are significantly more likely to be killed on the job than their peers across the ditch or in Europe. So, what’s driving this? Far too often, we remain reactive—responding only after accidents occur. That must change. We can’t rely on hope. Proactive, purpose-built safety infrastructure is critical. While no product can prevent every incident, we’re determined to do our part, outfitting worksites with equipment designed to reduce risk, safeguard people, and bolster compliance. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about numbers on a spreadsheet or costs on a ledger - it’s about lives. Every worker deserves to go home safe. __ See the full RNZ article here.

Solid Steel for a Solid Cause - Doing Good the Tru-Gard Way.

Solid Steel for a Solid Cause - Doing Good the Tru-Gard Way.

As you can imagine, we go through our fair share of steel here at Tru-Gard, which also means we generate a bit of scrap. While we've worked hard to make our processes as low-waste as possible, we’ve also come up with a plan to put those offcuts to good use. With a bit of existing know-how, some powder coating, and a dash of Kiwi ingenuity, we've created our Solid Steel. Solid Cause range. We're very proud to be launching with the classic Tru-Gard coaster, already protecting desks and boardroom tables around the country from rogue coffee rings, and our new bottle openers, perfect for keeping summer BBQs safe from unopened brews. Our team is also working away behind the scenes on more products to add to the collection, so watch this space. “Turning our steel offcuts into products that support local charities is a perfect example of sustainability in action. It’s a win for the environment and a win for our community,” says Mark Taylor, Managing Director, Tru-Gard. The proceeds from each item sold from our Solid Steel. Solid Cause range will go towards supporting local charities as part of our Tru-Impact initiative.  Just add a coaster or key ring to your order at checkout, or purchase one on its own, and we’ll take care of the rest. Protect your workspace while making a difference where it counts. It's doing good, the Tru-Gard way. Find out more about Tru-Impact here, or if you have an idea for a product you've love to see in the range contact our team today.

How Yellow Can Really Be Green - A Sustainability Fast Five with Paul Taylor

How Yellow Can Really Be Green - A Sustainability Fast Five with Paul Taylor

It’s well known we are passionate about all things safety here at Tru-Gard, but what you may not know is that this extends to the safety and protection of our environment. We believe that sustainable steps today will make a big difference to the future. Every day, we’re looking at new ways to make small but mighty changes – from removing paper cups and using good old ceramic ones in our break rooms, to recycling our steel offcuts into products for charity. We sat down with our Operations Manager, Paul Taylor, to learn more about how green yellow can be – read on to find out more.   Q – What does sustainability mean at Tru-Gard – and why does it matter? P.T – At Tru-Gard, sustainability means making workplaces safer today, without compromising the ability to do so tomorrow. By ensuring that every Barrier, Bollard, Handrail and safety system we design not only protects lives but also respects the environment and supports long-term value for our customers.   Q – What are some of the key sustainability initiatives Tru-Gard has introduced so far? P.T – We are passionate about waste reduction of materials by continuous improvements every week. Tru-Gard has shifted toward using fully recyclable materials in core product lines. This ensures that at the end of their lifecycle, products don’t end up in landfill but can be recycled or reused. With all Tru-Gard products made here in New Zealand, this all leads to reducing freight and boosting local jobs for just-in-time delivery.   Q – How do you approach sustainability in the day-to-day running of the business? P.T – Every small improvement we make today is an investment in tomorrow. At Tru-Gard, sustainability is not just a product feature – it’s embedded in the everyday decisions and operations of the business. We believe that everyday actions add up to long-term impact for our people and our planet.   Q – What challenges has Tru-Gard faced in its sustainability journey – and how is the team working to overcome them? P.T – Tru-Gard’s journey toward sustainability hasn’t been without its challenges. Each hurdle has sparked innovation across the team. One major shift has been in our supply chain: while we work with a wide range of suppliers, we've successfully brought most of these partnerships back to local providers. This not only reduces freight but also supports regional economies and gives us greater control over sustainable sourcing and quality – actually makes business fun and rewarding.   Q – What’s your vision for Tru-Gard’s environmental impact in the next five years? P.T – Well, it’s a mindset shift, as sustainability isn't a bolt-on at Tru-Gard — it's built into every weld, every folded piece of steel, every shipment, and every workplace we help protect. Over the next five years, we aim to set the benchmark in the safety industry by proving you can save lives and the planet at the same time. Shop our Solid Steel. Solid Cause charity range here.
