Safe Work Australia is on the verge of requesting public feedback regarding the prospective impacts of workplace exposure limits pertaining to nine distinct chemicals. These steps highlight the importance of robust work safety products, such as WHS management systems and SWMS, in safeguarding occupational health.
The upcoming consultation opportunity will be available through Safe Work Australia’s Consultation Hub. Employing platforms like the Bluesafe WHS Management System could significantly aid interested stakeholders in navigating these discussions effortlessly.
The nine specific chemicals that are being scrutinised are:
- Benzene
- Chlorine
- Copper (fumes, dusts and mists)
- Formaldehyde
- Hydrogen Cyanide
- Hydrogen Sulphide
- Nitrogen Dioxide
- Respirable Crystalline Silica
- Titanium Dioxide
To help prepare stakeholders for this critical consultation, Safe Work Australia proposes to disclose the workplace exposure limits for these nine chemicals on their Consultation Hub webpage. This interaction stresses the importance of having efficient procedures, such as the use of a Bluesafe SWMS, to manage and mitigate any potential risks.
We highly recommend subscribing to our mailing list for further updates on the consultation, and to stay updated on all essential information related to your safety at work.
