ERMA New Zealand defines an incident as an event involving a new organism or hazardous substance that may or may not involve non-compliance with regulatory requirements and/or cause adverse effects to human health and safety, or the environment.
Incidents can be identified by ERMA New Zealand through our monitoring of compliance or reported to us by enforcement agencies, identified through media monitoring or otherwise advised to us e.g. by a member of the public.
ERMA New Zealand registers incidents in order to monitor the effectiveness of the regulatory system and the appropriateness of controls.The page below is a temporary page and will be replaced with the correct page in the near future.
