ChemMatrix - New Zealand’s Digital Hazardous Substance Compliance Platform for Safer, Smarter Farming

ChemMatrix is a digital hazardous substance compliance platform designed specifically for New Zealand farms.

It helps farmers understand what chemicals and dangerous goods they are using, how to store them safely, how to meet WorkSafe and HSWA requirements, and how to reduce the risk of injury, illness, environmental contamination, and regulatory penalties.

From fuel and agrichemicals to acids, sanitisers, and asbestos in old sheds, ChemMatrix brings all your hazardous substance compliance into one clear, practical, easy-to-use system.

No jargon. No paperwork overload. Just straight answers and legal certainty.

The simple takeaway (this is the bit to remember)

• Labels changed
• Rules did not
• Only suppliers had deadlines
• Workplace duties stay the same
• GHS and HSNO work side by side

If you store, use, or handle chemicals: Learn the new symbols, keep your SDS, and follow the same safety controls as before
