We’ve developed a number of templates and reference tables for use by agrichemical users. We have also provided links to useful resources developed by other organisations, such as WorkSafe and the Environmental Protection Agency. 

Hazard classifications and product information »

Agrichemical storage »

Growsafe Endorsed resources

We also offer a service reviewing and endorsing resource materials developed by other organisations. Look for the Growsafe tick  as a sign that the resource is aligned with NZS 8409:2021 and regulatory requirements.
