Use case

HSW(HS) Regs 2017 + HSNO Act, without the certified-handler chaos.

New Zealand's hazardous substances regime sits in a separate set of Regulations from the workplace duties. RAE IQ keeps both in one register, with certified handler tracking that doesn't fall over.

What you get with nz hazardous substances

HSW(HS) Regs 2017 alignment

Inventory the substance once and RAE IQ applies the HSW(Hazardous Substances) Regulations 2017 controls — signage, segregation, emergency response, certified handler requirement.

HSNO Act 1996 classification

GHS classification, ERMA NZ approval IDs and HSNO controls captured at the substance level. SDS expiry tracking with alerts at 30/14/7 days before review.

Certified handler register

HSW(HS) reg 13.9 mandates a certified handler for certain substances. RAE IQ keeps the certified-handler register beside the substance register so it's never out of sync.

Inventory thresholds

Schedule 12 quantities trigger different controls. Quantities go in; the platform tells you which threshold you've crossed.

Location-based access

Multiple storage locations? Each has its own quantity and access list. Switching workplaces switches the visible inventory.

PPE per substance

Substance gets PPE controls (gloves, eye protection, respiratory) which feed into the PPE issue register and workshop toolbox talks.
