The Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances – Additional Substances that Do Not Require Tracking) Safe Work Instrument removes the tracking requirement for certain hazardous substances.

Principal SWI

Amendments

Consolidated safe work instruments

When a principal SWI is amended, WorkSafe also publishes a consolidated SWI. This makes it easy to see all the requirements set by a SWI, including any amendments, in a single place.

Although a consolidated SWI is a useful summary, it is not the official version of the SWI.

Key points

  • A consolidated SWI combines the principal (original) SWI with any later amendments.
  • Unlike the principal SWI and the amended SWI, which are both a form of legislation, a consolidated SWI is for reference only and has no official status.
  • The consolidated SWI is based on the law at the time that the SWI was consolidated.
