Introducing ChemMatrix – Supporting Farmers with Practical HazSubs Compliance
we see strong alignment between innovative farm technology and the growing need for clear, practical compliance systems on farms.
Through my background working in hazardous substances compliance across the construction and medical sectors, I’ve developed extensive experience in:
- Hazardous Substance inventories
- Safety Data Sheet (SDS) management
- Storage and segregation requirements
- PPE registers and training systems
- HSWA and HSNO compliance alignment
- Practical, audit-ready documentation
While working in these industries, I identified a clear gap within the farming sector. Many farms handle agrichemicals, fuels, cleaning agents, and veterinary products daily, yet often do not have a structured HazSubs system in place that is simple, usable, and compliant.
ChemMatrix has been developed specifically to fill that gap.
Our services for farmers include:
- On-site or remote HazSubs compliance reviews
- Development of easy-to-use Hazardous Substance Inventories
- SDS library setup and management
- Storage compliance advice
- PPE and training register systems
- Ongoing support through simple subscription-based services
Our focus is on making compliance straightforward, practical, and tailored to real farm operations — not paperwork that sits on a shelf.
We believe there is a strong opportunity to support farmers within the Halter network by helping them strengthen compliance, reduce risk, and operate with greater confidence.
I would welcome the opportunity to have a quick discussion around how ChemMatrix could complement the work Halter is already doing with farmers.
