The school was closed for the remainder of the day after staff discovered what was described as an unstable chemical in a science laboratory. Emergency services attended the scene, and specialist assistance was required to safely assess and remove the substance. While the incident was managed safely and no injuries were reported, it serves as a timely reminder of the risks associated with ageing, unidentified, or improperly stored chemicals. At Hazchem, we’ve noticed an increase in enquiries from schools following media coverage of the event. Many are seeking advice around laboratory chemical assessments, hazardous substance inventories, and chemical clear-outs. “Schools can accumulate chemicals over many years,” says Matt Goddard, Managing Director of Hazchem Services. “Some substances deteriorate over time, become unstable, lose their labels, or simply remain in storage long after they are no longer required. These situations can create significant safety risks if they aren’t identified and managed properly.” Chemical waste is one of the highest-risk waste streams. Improper storage or disposal can lead to chemical burns, toxic fumes, fires, and environmental contamination. We regularly assist schools, laboratories, and educational facilities with the identification, removal, transport, and compliant disposal of unwanted hazardous substances. With the school holidays approaching, we’re seeing many schools use the break as an opportunity to review chemical stores, remove unwanted substances, and ensure laboratories are safe and compliant before the next term begins. If your school is considering a chemical assessment or laboratory clear-out, we recommend booking early to secure your preferred dates. Common items we recommend schools review include: Unlabelled or unidentified chemicals Expired laboratory reagents Damaged, leaking, or corroding containers Chemicals that are no longer used in teaching programmes Legacy substances that have remained in storage for many years We provide chemical identification, hazardous waste disposal, dangerous goods transport, and compliant destruction services for schools, laboratories, businesses, and industrial facilities throughout New Zealand. We also advise schools on how to safely prepare, package, and label chemicals prior to collection. To arrange a school holiday chemical assessment or laboratory clear-out, contact us today.

So, here’s what I do in a nutshell for those of you who are curious about the world of Hazardous Waste Management! What is Hazardous Waste? Hazardous waste is created from manufacturing and industrial processes that either contain elements of or are explosive, flammable, toxic, corrosive, reactive or oxidising. Hazardous waste can come in the form of liquid, solid and gas and can potentially be dangerous to people, animals and our environment if not handled and disposed of correctly. Me and Hazardous Waste My job involves identifying, packaging, collecting, transporting and performing the appropriate disposal of hazardous waste for various companies whilst following strict health and safety requirements.

How and where toxic waste is disposed of are continuous and heated environmental questions. Clean, Green New Zealand is now more than ever under the microscope and we are being judged and condemned for our polluted rivers and waterways, litterbug population and impending plastic problem… but what about our toxic waste, are we disposing of it securely and safely? And why is it important? First, what is a toxic hazardous waste? Hazardous wastes are toxic by-products caused by industries and businesses such as construction, manufacturing, farming, mechanic garages, septic systems, hospitals, and laboratories (to name a few!). The toxic waste may be in liquid form, solid, or sludge and could contain anything from chemicals to heavy metals, radiation and toxins, to deadly pathogens. Major industries and big businesses are not the only producers of hazardous waste, though – household waste such as old batteries, paint, pesticides, gas cylinders and unwanted technological equipment are all considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of by a toxic waste specialist. If the correct standard of toxic waste removal is not followed, the waste can be very dangerous to people, animals, and plants. Toxins can be buried underground, in groundwater that supplies drinking water, or in floodwaters. Some toxins persevere in the environment and accumulate - like mercury. Humans and animals often absorb them when they eat fish. Choosing a reputable Toxic Waste Removal Specialist - like us here at Hazchem Services NZ- means that you can rest easy knowing that your hazardous waste is in good hands. You should never put hazardous waste in your general rubbish or recycling bin, down any drain or dump it in a remote area, whether you live in Auckland, Whangarei or Northland - Love Your Home. It is your responsibility to get in touch with us today to discuss the correct procedure for packaging, transporting and treating your toxic waste. Excerpt: How and where toxic waste is disposed are continuous and heated environmental questions. ### Agricultural Chemical Disposal | Hazchem Services Limited Agricultural Chemical Waste Disposal in New Zealand is becoming a serious cause for concern! Did you know that hoarding old and unused agrichemicals can pose a significant risk to you, your family, staff, any livestock or pets and the environment? Agrichemicals include: pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides) fertilisers stock supplements Some agrichemicals, such as some stock supplements, are not considered to be hazardous; however, pesticides are extremely hazardous because they are designed to be toxic in order to kill pests. Some pesticides take many years (even decades) to break down. One such pesticide, organochlorine, lingers in the environment, seeping into the food chain and steadily absorbed in the fat of various animals. Over time, these pesticides increase inside humans and other animals and can have an array of deadly effects. The most recognised organochlorine is DDT, which affects the nervous system and the reproductive organs of infected animals. Please consider the devastating side effects of agrichemicals when disposing of old and unwanted products. When you choose Hazchem Services for your agricultural chemical waste disposal company, you can relax knowing that we use qualified chemical contractors for the collection and disposal of your unwanted chemicals. Chemicals will be disposed of according to New Zealand regulations as appropriate, and we can even provide you with proof of Secure Product Destruction. Do The Right Thing: Secure & Safe Agricultural Chemical Disposal NZ Excerpt: Did you know that hoarding old and unused agrichemicals can pose a significant risk to you, your family, staff, any livestock or pets and the environment? ### Secure Product Destruction Certified Secure Product Destruction by Hazchem Services Over the past two weeks, Hazchem Services has collected 28 pallets of waste pharmaceuticals confiscated from customs, 22 pallets of expired shampoo and hair care products and 1,000 counterfeit golf gloves imported into New Zealand, all of which we have successfully disposed of using Secure Product Destruction. Secure Product Destruction is when companies have excess, expired or damaged stock that needs to be destroyed. This can be by witness or non-witness destruction. For witness destruction, a product chain of custody form is completed, and the destruction is witnessed and photographed by a representative. The customer then receives a copy of the chain of custody, photos of the secure product destruction and a destruction certificate verifying on behalf of the destruction facility that the materials have been destroyed. Most companies are not aware of the risks involved in allowing their respected brand name and stock to fall into the hands of unauthorised persons until it is too late. Employing a Certified Product Destruction company is essential in knowing that the disposal of goods is final in order to protect your business and have peace of mind. Product destruction includes anything from documents, food, drinks, supermarket packaged products, waste chemical products such as aerosols and paint, pharmaceuticals and any other product that needs to be destroyed for a valid company reason. When choosing Hazchem Services for your waste management needs, you can relax knowing that we are certified and licensed with extensive experience in handling secure product disposals!

Hazchem Services prides itself on strict Health & Safety Protocols Hazchem Services was recently asked to collect some copper chrome arsenate (CCA) waste from a rural subsidiary of a large company in the North Island. On arriving on site, the Regional Health and Safety Manager was present and was conducting an audit. Unbeknownst to Hazchem Services, the customer should have set our company up in their approved contractor management system prior to engaging our services. However, as the job involved removing some highly toxic chemicals from the site and was a long way from NZ metropolitan areas, the company wanted to be practical and see if the job could proceed. Hazchem Services were asked about how we would conduct the job safely, what PPE (personal protective equipment we would use, and whether we had appropriate licences and insurances for the job. Hazchem Services was able to provide copies of our insurance, our risk assessment (job safety analysis) for chemical collection works, a copy of our QHSE (Quality, Health and Safety and Environment) Policy, and provide evidence of our certifications and of being party to Prequal, which is one of the third-party independent Health and Safety auditing companies operating nationally. We were able to describe how we would undertake the job safely, provided all labels and packaging and showed the company how the drums would be secured within our vehicle. We showed the health and safety manager our spill kit and PPE, including a full-face respirator and gloves, and provided a dangerous goods manifest and a copy of the Emergency Procedure Guide (SAA/SNZ HB76:2010) we carry in place of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for all of our jobs. On completion, the health and safety manager approached us and provided us with some of the best feedback we’ve had to date: “It is great to see a company that operates so professionally”. It’s amazing to get such great feedback. But what else could we expect? We strive to provide a high level of safety, customer service and care for the environment because Hazchem Services are proud to be New Zealand owned and operated.

Get Safe and Effective Hazardous Waste Disposal Solutions for Your Business PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl substances) are a dangerous class of contaminants that are becoming a substantial concern across New Zealand. Since the 1950s, the synthetically produced compounds have been manufactured commercially and used extensively for many years in consumer goods. From furniture to upholstery, carpeting, and even food wrappers, PFAS have been found in many day-to-day products. Despite the production of these compounds being cancelled in 2002, traces of PFAS can still be detected in old merchandise and in some imported goods. PFAS substances were also commonly used in firefighting foams, the most common of which was AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foams) Fire Foam. AFFF fire foam contained PFOS (Perfluoroctanesulfonate), which is one of the most common PFAS substances. The scary truth is, PFAS do not break down efficiently. PFAS compounds live in the air, soil and water and can amass over time in certain organisms. If ingested by a person, the PFAS takes such a long time to leave the body that it can, in fact, increase in concentration over time, especially if the person is frequently exposed to it. New Zealand is a party to the Stockholm Convention, which means that we have obligations to ensure that these hazardous substances are managed in an environmentally sound manner. PFAS substances are commonly used in Firefighting Foams.                             Hazchem Services Managing Director, Daniel Allen, has extensive experience in managing PFAS substances. During his time in the Australian hazardous waste industry, he was General Manager of the only facility in Australia licensed at the time to treat such substances. A combination of Plasma Arc destruction and Thermal Desorption technologies was employed to treat solid and liquid materials contaminated with PFAS substances. Hazchem Services can provide identification, packaging, collection and treatment services for PFAS substances in Auckland & Northland, New Zealand, so that you can be confident in disposing of damaging PFAS compounds the right way.

Hazchem Services has been awarded a 5 Star Rating from the NZ Transport Agency! The NZ Transport Agency conducts an Operator Rating System (ORS), which is a procedure that focuses on making our roads safer for everyone by improving the safety of heavy vehicles in Aotearoa. NZ Transport Agency has combined forces with the New Zealand Police to create a system that recognises possible high-risk drivers for examination and to provide support on how to improve their safety techniques. The ORS encourages transport operators to comply with safe vehicle and driving practices by rating the compliance of the operator and vehicle. What are ORS ratings? Much like a restaurant rating, the ORS is scored from one to five stars (one being the lowest) and is based on a 12-month assessment including certificate of fitness (CoF) inspections, roadside inspections and certain types of offending. Here at Hazchem Services, we are proud to announce that we’ve been awarded a Five-Star ORS rating (which literally translates as “Very Good Level of Compliance” – as good as it gets!) Travelling with high-risk, hazardous and chemical waste is serious business, and we take safety very seriously. We guarantee that our drivers and vehicles are 100% compliant with the current rules and legislation. So, are you located in the North Island?
