Pure Tūroa Ltd founders Cam Robertson and Greg Hickman have issued a statement to reaffirm the company’s unwavering commitment to safety at Tūroa Skifield, following a prominent media story on July 17 that they say misrepresented their health and safety protocols.
“On behalf of the professional, incredibly hardworking and dedicated team at Pure Tūroa, we want to assure our customers that their safety on our skifield is our ultimate priority,” says Cam. “We feel compelled to share this commitment after factually incorrect and misleading media coverage implied that we are operating Tūroa Skifield without the appropriate health and safety plans in place.”
Pure Tūroa and Tūroa Skifield say they are fully compliant with all regulations required to safely operate the skifield. The health and safety plan, included as part of its concession application, has been accepted by the Department of Conservation. This plan, largely unchanged from previous seasons, has been subject to prior audits and has again received DoC approval.
“We take immense pride in the commitment, care, and passion that our team brings every day to ensure the safety and enjoyment of our skifield visitors,” says Pure Tūroa spokesperson Jess Till.
“Any suggestion that we would compromise on safety is simply unacceptable to us.”
Greg says he is grateful for their dedicated health and safety team. “We are incredibly proud of our hard-working health and safety team for their mahi every day to ensure a safe space for everyone that joins us on the mountain. The knowledge and experience of our team is extraordinary.
“At the end of the day, we all want to get ourselves and our whānau home safely.”
