Our priority is to keep you safe and well during your visit.

Craigmore takes the safety and welfare of its employees very seriously. Similarly, we value the wellbeing of visitors to our farms, orchards, vineyards and forestry sites. We have a duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 to warn authorised visitors of any work related, out of the ordinary hazards, that may cause them serious harm.

Taking care on our properties

Suitable stout footwear, warm and waterproof clothing and a sunhat will be required for all property visits as quite a bit of time will be spent outside. The ground could be wet and uneven, and the weather can be unpredictable, so be prepared for all conditions (rain and sun). We will provide sunblock.

In the interests of your own safety and for those working on our properties, we ask you to be responsible and read the points below. A full on-site briefing will also be held when we arrive at the property.

  • You are entering a working property with moving machinery, livestock, and chemicals
  • Please follow the instructions of the manager or supervisor
  • Do not enter no-go zones (as explained by the manager or supervisor)
  • Do not operate farm vehicles or equipment
  • Be aware of the emergency procedures
  • Wear safety/protective equipment when requested
  • Wash hands before eating food

Earthquakes & illness

Earthquakes

While in New Zealand it might be possible to experience some seismic activity. The hotels and venues will have staff who are well prepared for any emergency and evacuation plans in case of earthquake or other event. It is important to follow their instructions at all times.

In the event of an earthquake it helps to be prepared. Remember: Drop, Cover, Hold. It stops you being knocked over, makes you a smalller target for falling and flying objects, and protects your head, neck and vital organs.
