What is the hazardous substance compliance self-assessment?
It’s a self guided version of our Site Risk Assessment service. Instead of a pH7 specialist visiting your site, you work through the questions yourself. The tool then shows you where your operation may not meet the Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 2017.
What does the self-assessment cover?
The 52 questions cover key areas of hazardous substance compliance, including:
- Hazardous substance inventory and SDS management
- Storage and secondary containment
- Signage
- PPE
- Spill response and emergency equipment
- Staff training
Who is it for?
The self-assessment suits any New Zealand business that stores or uses hazardous substances, including dangerous goods. It’s especially useful if you:
- Aren’t sure where to start with compliance

What should I do with my results?
Use your report to prioritise fixes on your site. For a deeper look, book a Site Risk Assessment. A pH7 specialist will audit your site in person and provide a zone by zone report with a clear action plan. The self-assessment and site audit work well together, giving you a full picture of your path to compliance.
Is the self-assessment the same as compliance certification?
No. The self-assessment is a guide to help you find gaps. Only a compliance certifier authorised by WorkSafe can issue compliance certificates for your site, stationary tanks or certified handlers.
