Hazardous Substance Management

Expert Guidance for Safe and Compliant Construction Sites

Managing hazardous substances on construction sites is a critical responsibility, and at Construction Health and Safety Auckland, we provide tailored solutions to ensure safety, compliance, and environmental protection. From chemicals to flammable materials, we help you manage these risks effectively while safeguarding your workers and site operations.

What is Hazardous Substance Management?

Hazardous substance management focuses on the safe use, storage, transport, and disposal of materials that can pose risks to health, safety, or the environment. Proper management ensures that construction sites remain safe, organised, and compliant with New Zealand’s stringent regulations.

Why Does Hazardous Substance Management Matter?

Without proper oversight, hazardous substances can lead to workplace injuries, environmental damage, or costly non-compliance penalties. Effective management ensures:

• Workplace Safety: Minimising risks associated with exposure to dangerous materials.
• Legal Compliance: Meeting requirements under New Zealand’s Hazardous Substances Regulations.
• Environmental Stewardship: Preventing spills, contamination, and other ecological impacts.
• Risk Reduction: Proactively identifying and mitigating potential hazards before incidents occur.
