At OHS SafeAssist Ltd, we believe strong communities are built by people willing to step up and support one another.

We’re proud to be supporting the Cape Egmont Half Marathon by volunteering our time and expertise to compile the event’s Health & Safety Plan - helping create a safe environment for all runners, walkers, volunteers and supporters involved.

The Cape Egmont Half Marathon is an incredible local event raising funds and awareness in support of cancer heroes and their families (website links below), and we’re honoured to play a small part behind the scenes.

Community events of this scale take dedication, teamwork and heart, and it’s inspiring to see so many people coming together for such an important cause.

Wishing the organisers, participants and supporters an amazing event day.

— Denis & the team at OHS SafeAssist Ltd 💛
