WorkSafe is seeking your feedback on updated restricted entry intervals for 98 substances.

Restricted entry intervals for the substances in this consultation were previously set as part of the Environmental Protection Authority substance approval process under HSNO. WorkSafe are going through this process to transfer the restricted entry intervals to being requirements under HSWA.

Many of the restricted entry intervals proposed in this document differ from the restricted entry intervals previously set under the HSNO approval.

If you are a manufacturer, supplier or user of pesticides that have a current restricted entry interval you may want to submit on the proposed changes.

The proposed restricted entry intervals can be found in the following consultation document.

To determine appropriate restricted entry intervals WorkSafe commissioned Toxicology Consulting Ltd to use the EPA’s current methodology and propose restricted entry intervals. The Toxicology Consulting Limited report outlines the parameters and methodology used to determine the restricted entry intervals.
