ACM Removals is proud to announce that we are now an official member of HASANZ – the Health and Safety Association of New Zealand. This marks a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering the highest standards of safety, compliance, and professionalism across every project we undertake.
Becoming a HASANZ-registered member is more than just a badge. It is a clear demonstration that ACM Removals meets the rigorous criteria set by New Zealand’s peak body for workplace health and safety professionals. It affirms our role as a trusted leader in asbestos removal and hazardous material management, and it ensures our clients can rely on us for expert guidance, safe practices, and regulatory excellence.
What is HASANZ?
HASANZ (Health and Safety Association of New Zealand) is the national umbrella organisation that represents all workplace health and safety professions in New Zealand. It was established to raise professional standards, improve industry performance, and make it easier for businesses and the public to find qualified health and safety advisers.
The HASANZ Register is a nationally recognized directory of verified health and safety professionals who meet industry benchmarks for education, experience, and ongoing professional development. Being listed on the register means a professional or business has proven their competence and integrity in their field of expertise.
Why HASANZ Membership Matters
At ACM Removals, our work involves dealing with one of the most high-risk and tightly regulated materials in the building and demolition industry: asbestos.
Asbestos, when disturbed, poses serious health risks including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Removing it requires not only specialized equipment and procedures but a deep understanding of WorkSafe NZ regulations, health risk management, and client communication.
By joining HASANZ, we’re showing our clients that:
- We meet independently verified professional standards.
- We stay current with legislation and best practices.
- We undergo continuing professional development (CPD).
- We are audited and accountable to a code of ethics.
- We are recognized nationally as a qualified, reliable contractor.
In short, HASANZ membership offers peace of mind – for residential clients, commercial property managers, government agencies, and anyone seeking a competent asbestos professional.

A Call to Better Industry Standards
New Zealand has faced a long legacy of asbestos use—especially in building materials prior to the mid-1980s. As a result, asbestos exposure remains a real and ongoing danger in many residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
That’s why ACM Removals advocates for higher industry standards, stronger regulations, and public education about asbestos risks.
We believe that being part of HASANZ is not just a step forward for our company—it’s a contribution to a broader movement for better health and safety outcomes across Aotearoa.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next?
As a HASANZ member, ACM Removals is committed to ongoing professional development and industry leadership. We will continue to invest in training, certification, and innovation to ensure we offer the most effective and safest asbestos removal services in New Zealand.
We also plan to engage more deeply with local communities, providing educational content, free assessments, and community awareness campaigns about the dangers of asbestos and the importance of hiring qualified professionals.
