HSNO

Where Are We Now?

* All single component Dangerous Goods were transferred to the HSNO regime on 1 April
  2004, along with some Scheduled Toxic Substances
* Pesticides, Timber Preservatives, Antisapstains & Antifouling Paints were transferred to the
  HSNO regime on 1 July 2004
* Finally, Notified Toxic Substances are due for transfer on 1 July 2006

Approved Handler Training is now well underway at Dangerous Goods Management with NZQA Unit Standard Based Training Courses, together with Dangerous Goods Awareness, Comprehensive Hazardous Spill training and Toxic Substance Handling courses.

National Database

ERMA New Zealand has recently introduced their National Test Certificate Database, this Database will be used by all "Test Certifiers" in an effort to capture all Approved Handler and Location Test Certificates issued from this point forward.

As you may be aware, your local City Council Dangerous Goods Licenses were renewed by ERMA for the 2004 calendar year, this has only been a temporary measure to allow companies time to obtain their Location Test Certificates- this time is beginning to run out!!

Although NOTS are not due for transfer until July 2006, there are a huge array of Single Component Dangerous Goods and Scheduled Toxic Substances that now fall under the HSNO umbrella.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMPLIANT!!
