Part of the team

Working around millions of tonnes of highly flammable product means that health and safety plays a central role for the Armourguard team at the New Zealand Refining Company’s (NZRC) Marsden Point site.

As New Zealand’s only oil refinery, the site is the country’s leading supplier of oil products including refined petroleum products such as petrol, diesel and aviation fuel. It provides 70% of the domestic market’s petrol, more than 80% of New Zealand diesel and jet fuel and most of the bitumen for New Zealand roads.

The Armourguard team assists the site’s Health and Safety team with site access and inductions. The patrol the 120-hectare site’s perimeter, ensure the company’s berthing facilities are kept secure and process everyone entering and leaving the refinery. In such a sensitive environment access needs to be carefully controlledand as part of its daily routine Armourguard will search both bags and cars to make sure that restricted items including cigarette lighters and matches are kept off site.

The New Zealand Refining Company values Armourguard’s role and our Site Security Supervisor is a member of the QHSE management team and is also heavily involved in security planning.
