Satish Lakavathu ProfNZISM, ANZIEH,PGDOSH

Background

I am a seasoned professional with 13 years of extensive experience in Environment, Quality, Health, and Safety services across diverse business scales. Holding a NZISM Professional Membership and Associate membership with NZIEH, I am certified as an Exemplar Global Lead Auditor for ISO 9001, 45001, and 14001. 

My professional journey involves acquiring various qualifications in health, safety, and environmental health, enabling me to offer comprehensive advice to businesses. I stay abreast of New Zealand Health and Safety legislation, the NZ Resource Management Act, and the Health Act.

Prior to my foray into the NZ health and safety sector, my background as a Physiotherapist equipped me with invaluable experience in addressing human physical, neurological, and radiological needs. Specializing in Traumatic Brain injury rehabilitation, I collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to facilitate rehabilitation and return-to-work programs.

In my current role as a health and safety professional, I specialize in conducting workplace safety audits, assessments, occupational monitoring, and assessment validation. My expertise extends to businesses within the CHASNZ/Totika framework. I engage with contractors, sole traders, and principal clients, conducting gap analyses to aid them in developing robust Health and Safety Management Systems. My aim is to ensure that businesses not only meet but exceed their health and safety requirements.
