Approved Handler Training

Do you need an Approved Handler on site?

Do you handle or store any substances that come under the HSNO Act?

Are you unsure of what you need to do?

The Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO Act) requires that certain substances, or “quantities thereof” must be under the control of an ‘Approved Handler’ at all times to offer advice, training, or assistance to those using or handling the substances.

TriEx offers a one-day workshop specifically designed for anyone involved in the handling of dangerous goods or hazardous substances.


What is involved?

  • You receive practical information on the requirements of the HSNO Act and the role of an Approved Handler on your site.
  • Information is provided to you about controls for hazardous substance classes.
  • Examples of hazardous substance handling will be made relevant to those attending the course by encouraging attendees to provide advance information to the presenter from your worksite.
  • TriEx approved handler courses include attendees from a variety of industries and users of similar hazardous substances are grouped together for relevance
  • Workshop attendees share their knowledge and interact with other attendees and the presenter to get the most out of the HSNO Training.
  • TriEx offers Approved Handler training that covers the substances that you use at your site
