Personalised Policies, Promptly
ISO Easy is a subsidiary of eSafety NZ (The NZ OH&S company not the Aussie online safety site). eSafety was created in 2009 during a brainstorming session (over a drink or two) about what was missing in the OH&S Policy market. We decided that a quick and easy way to create a personalised H&S policy was needed, at a cost-effective price online.
Rod had already been creating policies for many years, so it was decided that he would create different versions for different business requirements. And then, using our extensive and ever-growing collection of risk modules, the idea was formed about how the website could work simply to provide quick, yet effective and still personalised H&S System.
Thanks to this model and many years of experience in the industry (since 2000) we can provide systems at a cost-effective price for all sized businesses.
In 2018 Karen began full-time ISO auditing in NZ and Australia and after a couple of years we thought why can’t we do the same with our existing products? These were initially added to our site and it was later decided why not bring the ISO systems to the Aussie market? And here we are today.
Rod Harris
Rod is the Managing Director of eSafety and ISO Easy and his role includes great ideas (or taking credit for Karen's great ideas), answering questions, manual creation and various other interesting and highly important things. Rod has worked full-time in Health and Safety compliance since 2000 and does contract consultancy work, to maintain hands-on experience. He served his time in the building industry, as an advanced trade carpenter and has done papers and work in Quantity Surveying, resulting in extensive experience in all facets of the industry, from housing to civil construction. This gives him a hands-on approach and a practical knowledge of Health and Safety. He is also a qualified ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 Lead Auditor. His ongoing mission is to make manuals and forms as simple as possible, while fitting into the frameworks required. This could well explain Rod's lack of hair.
Karen Harris
Policies/Audits/Implementation/Training Karen has been involved with Health and Safety since 1999, working with compliance in the marine, laboratory, maritime, small-scale manufacturing, medical cannabis, and health products business environments. Formerly in laboratory management, with 21 years of building up her product development & manufacturing company. Her main roles as a consultant with eSafety are preparing ISO policies for Rod to review, arguing with Rod about most things, ISO implementation and training, and OH&S group training sessions. An IRCA/Exemplar trained ISO Lead Auditor (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 17025, ISO 22000, ISO 22301, ISO 45001, ISO 50001), Karen spends much of her time for eSafety involved in pre-audit prep. for clients. Her favourite part of this is introducing a company to the wonderful world of ISO and training them until they are running a system which is a thing of beauty. Karen may have a name of terror, but her training sessions contain a large amount of humour, because we may as well enjoy the process.
