What is Tōtika?

Tōtika is a health and safety prequalification scheme developed for New Zealand construction and contractor procurement. It is intended to reduce repeated prequalification effort by giving contractors and buyers a common standard. Read the what is Tōtika guide for a plain-English introduction.

A recognised Tōtika member scheme

SHE Pre-Qual is one of the Tōtika member schemes listed on the official Tōtika website, so a SHE Pre-Qual Tōtika assessment follows the Tōtika category model and assessment standards. See the official Tōtika member schemes page for the current list.

Why choose SHE Pre-Qual?

Which Tōtika category am I?

Your category depends on business size, the type of work you do and the value of contracts you tender for. Use the category guide before registering, and contact support if you are not sure.

Do I need the Tōtika path or generic SHE Pre-Qual?

If your buyer, tender or council requirement asks for Tōtika, choose the Tōtika assessment path. A generic contractor prequalification assessment is not the same as a Tōtika assessment.

Do NZTA physical works contractors need Tōtika?

NZTA physical works prequalification guidance says physical works contractors need current Tōtika registration before applying for NZTA prequalification. Check the current NZTA pack and your tender documents, then use the Tōtika category guide if you need an assessment path.

Can ISO 45001, SafePlus or Q-Safe be used for Tōtika?

Yes, Tōtika recognises some current external certifications and assessments, including ISO 45001, SafePlus and Q-Safe, depending on your supplier category and the evidence you can provide.

How do I get proof or a certificate after my assessment?

When SHE Pre-Qual approves your Tōtika assessment, you can view and download your certificate and full report in RapidCert. Read about your Tōtika certificate to see what it shows, how long it lasts and how to show buyers. If you cannot find it, contact SHE Pre-Qual.

How long is Tōtika prequalification valid for?

Sole Trader and Category 1 Tōtika prequalification assessments are valid for 2 years. Category 2 and Category 3 assessments are valid for 1 year. External certifications or assessments may follow their own expiry dates.
