Our Vision: To deliver healthy and safe working lives and contribute to productive enterprises.

We want to see human health and safety protected by the safe supply, storage and use of chemicals and products in and out of work. We want to ensure that providers of services and products are accredited, thereby enhancing the confidence of their customers and clients.
