The proven regulatory roadmap to eliminating or reducing hazardous substance risks in the workplace.
Assess the Risks
Identify hazardous substances, toxic fumes, dusts, and biological agents present in all tasks and storage areas.
Decide Precautions
Apply the 8 Principles of Good Control Practice to prevent or adequately control chemical exposure.
Prevent / Control Exposure
Implement engineering controls such as Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV), closed systems, or substitute safer chemicals.
Maintain Controls
Ensure LEV extraction hoods and ductwork undergo statutory 14-month thorough examination and maintenance checks.
Monitor Exposure
Measure airborne chemical concentrations and compare against Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs: 8-hr TWA & 15-min STEL).
Health Surveillance
Conduct regular medical screening, lung function tests, and skin examinations for workers handling sensitisers.
Emergency Plans
Establish emergency spillage containment procedures, eye wash stations, antidote kits, and evacuation drills.
Train Employees
Provide clear instruction, SDS access, and hands-on training for all workers handling hazardous chemicals.
