Hazardous and Toxic Waste

In the workplace, modern technology often requires the disposal of hazardous and toxic chemicals, a job that can become potentially dangerous if not carried out correctly.

Safe Work Australia states that, under the WHS Regulations, a hazardous chemical is any substance, mixture or article that satisfies the criteria of one or more Globalised Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) hazard classes, including a classification in Schedule 6 of the WHS Regulations.

The WHS Regulations include specific duties for a person conducting a business or undertaking to manage the risks to health and safety associated with using, handling, generating and storing hazardous chemicals at a workplace. The duties include:

  • correct labelling of containers and pipework, using warning placards and outer warning placards and displaying of safety signs
  • maintaining a register and manifest (where relevant) of hazardous chemicals
  • identifying risk of physical or chemical reaction of hazardous chemicals and ensuring the stability of hazardous chemicals
  • ensuring that exposure standards are not exceeded
  • provision of health monitoring to workers
  • provision of information, training, instruction and supervision to workers.

Airsafe can help you to meet the above demands of environmental protection, employee health and government regulations.
