The Facts on Approved HandlersWednesday, 13 Jul, 2005
Approved Handlers are needed for many pesticides under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act and Approved Handler courses are underway around the country. The urgency with which you must obtain a full Approved Handler Certificate depends on a number of factors, but transitional approved handler certificates expire December 31st 2007.
Fact Sheets are now available to Federated Farmers members to help clarify what chemicals require an Approved Handler, what course best suits your needs, and when you should aim to complete it. These Fact Sheets are available to Federated Farmers members on 0800 FARMING.
You may consider obtaining Transitional Approved Handler status by filling out a declaration that acts as a temporary Approved Handler certificate. Transitional certificates expire on December 31, 2006, at which point you will be required to obtain full Approved Handler status. Click the link below to download a blank Transitional Certificate.
