HSNO hazardous substance compliance
All workplaces in New Zealand can be fined if they do not comply with HSNO regulations, regardless of the amount of hazardous substances held on site. Gaining HSNO compliance certification is mandatory.
The Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 2017 requires workplaces that transport, store or use hazardous substances to comply with a raft of specifications.
If your workplace deals with hazardous substances, it would pay to go through the HSNO standards checklist
. The checklist is structured to make sure that you have covered off the key points on of the new regulations. You will require around half a day to go through the checklist, regulations and Worksafe guidance.

How to achieve certification
Contact Telarc using our quote request form and we will help you through the process to achieve the certification(s) your organisation strives for.
The standards can be complex, but we’ve made it easy with simplified self-evaluation checklists that break down what you need to have implemented to meet the requirements of the standard. You can use the checklist to determine to what extent you already meet the requirements to become accredited, and which gaps need to be addressed.
Once you’re satisfied that your organisation meets the requirements, Telarc will audit your systems and either issue the certification or identify non-conformances that you need to address before certification is granted.
