Keeping your team safe and work-ready doesn't have to be complicated. We offer on-the-ground support with medical checks, immunisations, fatigue training and first aid training—so you can meet your safety requirements and look after your people at the same time. It's about ticking the boxes while truly caring for your crew.

Our goal is to create environments where everyone can thrive—by understanding sensory needs, improving communication, and building truly inclusive teams.

Sleep Apnea in NZ
Unidentified Sleep Apnea in NZ Can Slow Down Workforce Productivity
Our Fit for Duty program is helping businesses and individuals to manage the risk of sleep apnea in NZ. Although sleep apnea can easily go undiagnosed, it does present itself as a cause of concern for employers. It results in reduced focus, disrupted concentration, poor mental and physical health and delayed reaction times, causing reduced productivity and an increase in preventable accidents.
The Importance of an Apnea Sleep Test
We recommend all employers in New Zealand, especially those operating in high-risk environments, to include a clause in their employment agreements, requiring workers to adhere to a sleep apnea test. Consider the relevance of such a provision in your business.
Legislation requires businesses to ensure employee safety within reason. It includes the health of employees and safe workplace conditions to prevent injury. Sleep deprivation is a significant concern affecting employee health, causing accidents and injuries.
Employees with sleep apnea pose a safety risk to your business. It does in no way imply dismissal of an employee who tests positive for OSA, nor should it make individuals with OSA feel vulnerable in the workplace. Help is available to manage the condition.
Proper testing can identify the condition and sets the path to successful management. The apnea sleep test can be the vital resolution between an employee and employer to find a workable resolution where cooperation is key.
History of Fit for Duty
The US National Sleep Foundation states that sleep deprivation affects one-third of the population (the number one killer in the world). Rachel Lehen developed the Fit for Duty program in 2014. Since then, we have screened and helped hundreds of people. We consider the health and safety of employees and workplace conditions as fundamental to a healthy business contributing to a strong economy. Therefore, we support both companies and individuals to manage the condition successfully.
Your business doesn’t have to be at risk of unidentified sleep apnea. Let’s engage in finding solutions to create a safe and productive environment.
