HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?
ChemSafe's Agrichemical Approved Handler renewal process
is designed for Approved Handlers of Agrichemicals who are seeking
to renew their Agrichemical Approved Handler test certificate
To renew a test certificate you must know about any relevant
changes that have occurred to the Hazardous Substance and New
Organisms (HSNO) legislation, any changes to the NZ Standard
8409:2004 and changes to work practice of agrichemical application
since your previous Approved Handler certificate was issued.
Our renewal service will outline the changes since your last
certificate was issued and after paying the fee, following the
steps and answering questions relating to the changes, you will be
able to complete the renewal process.
TWO RENEWAL OPTIONS - ONLINE OR POST
FarmSafe provides two easy options for you to complete your
renewal process:
1. Online - for those on broadband or
fast dialup speed.
2. Home Pack - request a Home Pack either online
(in Step 3) or by phoning FarmSafe on 0800 545 747.
THE EASY STEPS TO RENEWING YOUR CERTIFICATE:
Step One : Register & Create an
Account
First you need to register your details - this will enable you
to have a unique logon that you will require to proceed with the
renewal process. Once you have registered, your logon and password
will be immediately emailed to you.
Please note, you will require your current Approved Handler
Certificate number. If you have misplaced your certificate
and you are an existing FarmSafe client, you can call FarmSafe on
0800 545747 to request this information.
Step Two : Pay the Renewal Fee
Whether you choose to renew your certificate online or with a
Home Pack, the renewal fee is $100 (GST included). Using your
logon and password, you can securely pay online using your credit
card. As soon as payment is received you can begin the online
renewal service or order your Home Pack to be sent to you.
Step Three : Review the Resources Online
or Order Home Pack
Your logon will give you access to a brief video clip and/or a
downloadable workbook manual explaining the process. You will
be provided with information about the relevant changes that
have occurred to the legislation since your previous certificate
was issued.
If you do not have broadband or fast dial up, this is where you
can request a Home Pack to be sent to you. You will receive a
DVD, workbook manual, assessment and application form in the post.
Once you have completed the assessment and application form, please
return it to us in the reply paid envelope supplied.
Step Four : Complete the Assessment
After you have watched the video and / or read the workbook
there will be a short 10 question multichoice assessment which you
can complete and submit online. Your unique logon details allow you
to have 3 attempts at the assessment over 28 days.
Successful completion of the assessment will guide you to a one
page Application for Renewal form. When filled out this will
complete your request for renewal of your Agrichemical Approved
Handler Test Certificate from our Test Certifier.
This form, required by ERMA, will ask you for information from
your current certificate. If you are an existing FarmSafe client
and you have misplaced your certificate, you can call FarmSafe on
0800 545 747 to request this information.
