IMPORTANT:
We would like to remind you that the transition period for updates to labelling, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and packaging under the updated Globally Harmonised System (GHS7) in New Zealand will end on 30 April 2025.
From this date, all importers, manufacturers, and suppliers must comply with the updated Labelling, SDS, and Packaging Notices set by the EPA.
Please note: This will not affect your compliance certificates, as these will still be under the HSNO classifications unless there are future legislative changes. The only required updates will be to your SDS and packaging.
We encourage you to review your current documentation and packaging to ensure compliance before the deadline. If you have any questions or require support, please feel free to reach out to us.

WorkSafe’s decade of failure is due to its poor execution
In its first decade, WorkSafe NZ has failed. Per capita workplace injury rates are 2x Australia’s. The cost of this gap has been estimated at $1 billion annually. Māori injury rates are 31% worse than for others. 750-900 workers die annually from diseases caused by exposure to toxins in workplaces. This chapter sets the scene for the following articles that will show how poor WorkSafe’s execution continues to be.
