Hazchem Awarded 5 Star Rating by NZ Transport Agency

Rest easy knowing that your hazardous waste is in good hands.

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 New Zealand Police to create a system that recognises possible high-risk drivers for examination and to provide support on how to better 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!) Traveling 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.
