Health and Safety Management Plan

Signbiz takes health and safety seriously and therefore has a dedicated National Health and Safety Manager, while officers at every branch hold regular meetings with their wider team and complete all documentation in line with the Signbiz Health and Safety Management Plan.

Health and Safety Documentation

For every job, Signbiz personnel complete task analysis forms, while larger projects require the completion of site-specific safety plans to ensure all bases are covered from a health and safety perspective.

Certification

Vehicle Signage Re-working.

In accordance with its values of ‘Quality & Service,’ Signbiz offers an After-Care Service following the completion of projects to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.

Signbiz invites all customers who have had vehicle graphics installed to return within 5-10 days for any necessary reworking. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to inspect the vinyl after it has had time to settle on the vehicle. Skilled Signbiz staff meticulously examine the vinyl to uphold the promised standard and ensure customers are satisfied with the results.

The customer’s attendance at this appointment is crucial, as it guarantees the quality of the product and our service. These After-Care Service appointments can be conducted at any of our branches nationwide. Therefore, if a customer needs to alter the time or location of their booking, Signbiz can be contacted accordingly.

On rare occasions, products may require reworking. In such cases, Signbiz will prioritise any item needing attention, fast-tracking it to the front of the workload to become a priority job immediately.

Advanced Technology

Signbiz appreciates the importance and benefits of using advanced manufacturing, application, and installation technology, leading to a broader range of design options, signage solutions, faster installation times, and a higher quality finish.

Facilities and Production Capacity

Cutting-edge facilities and technologies at each Signbiz branch offer comprehensive digital and commercial print solutions across the print spectrum, along with advanced finishing capabilities. With substantial production capacity, Signbiz can operate seven top-of-the-range machines 24 hours a day to meet customer demand.

Specialist Machinery

Operating fabrication workshops in the North and South Islands, Signbiz utilises specialist machinery such as roll-to-roll printers, flatbed printers, CNC routers, vinyl laminators, vinyl plotters, laser cutters, and metalworking equipment. Consequently, this minimises costs to customers while providing quicker production times and quality assurance for all our products.
