AERIAL OPERATORS

As an aerial operator, it is critical to ensure that only approved hazardous substances are applied during aerial operations. The use of non-approved substances can result in significant penalties from regulatory authorities such as the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand (CAA), Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), and under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). Non-compliance may lead to serious consequences, including suspension or loss of licence, enforcement action, and potential litigation.

Ground Operators

For ground operators, applying banned or restricted hazardous substances can also result in enforcement action by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and breaches under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). Failure to comply with these regulations may result in fines, loss of certification or licence, and legal proceedings.
