One farm · one chemical picture
The chemical-control layer for a digitally managed farm.
Modern platforms such as Halter can help farmers manage animals, pasture and daily operations. ChemMatrix applies the same clear, connected thinking to hazardous substances. We assess the farm, organise the information and turn compliance gaps into practical work.
Connect the right information
Match each product to a current SDS, storage location, responsible person and the controls workers need.
Prioritise the real risks
Turn storage, segregation, bunding, ignition, signage and spill gaps into a clear, ranked action plan.
Keep the system current
Use practical reviews and follow-up support so the register changes when products, people or farm operations change.
Prepare for emergencies
Set up site-specific spill controls, emergency information and response steps that work across sheds, tanks and workshops.
Give workers clarity
Provide accessible information, practical awareness and evidence that helps with assurance, audits and contractor requirements.
Aligned with WorkSafe NZ advice
Start with what you hold. Then work out which controls apply.
ChemMatrix follows the practical WorkSafe approach: build an accurate inventory, connect every product to a current safety data sheet, use classifications and maximum quantities to identify key controls, then close the gaps that matter.
