In addition, there have been a couple of updated sheets issued. Please check the list and ensure you have the current issue available for your customers and that any superseded sheets have been removed from circulation. Our website General Hire ESDS Forms – Hire Industry Association of New Zealand (https://www.hianz.net.nz) is the best place to keep up to date on our latest sheets. As the magazine was about to go to print, information was with the graphic designer for three further product categories: Lighting Towers, Diesel & LPG Fan drive Heaters and LPG static Heaters. These should be available on the HIANZ website by early July. To make important Health & Safety information readily available to customer a few hire companies are displaying links on a dedicated H&S page, with QR codes on equipment instantly linking customer to the hire companies’ website and any other necessary information. HIANZ is also looking at the possibility of providing direct links to ESDSs saved on a central HIANZ website, ideally with the potential to verify if and when a customer has accessed the information.
There are a number of health & safety related cases under investigation that could have major ramifications for HIANZ members. As always, HIANZ is seeking to take a proactive approach to minimise the potential risk to members. ■
