'Safely managing the chemicals in your workplace is good for business and it is good for everyone' Our software platform has a built in chemical risk management module to help you manage your chemical substances.
In most cases you will be able to manage your chemical safety in-house. You will be familiar with
the types of chemicals involved and the type of work activities in which these chemicals are used. In
addition, your employees will have experience and knowledge that you can use when deciding on
the precautions you are going to take.
You will probably already have precautions in place.
You are now checking if these are sufficient and
if you need to take further steps to protect people. Small or low-risk businesses will find it straight
forward to identify their chemical hazards and put in place appropriate control measures. Larger
businesses, and particularly those working in high-risk sectors, may need more resources and
competency to manage their chemical safety.
It is important to remember - if you are unsure of any aspect of managing chemicals safely
in your workplace, you should seek help from a competent person.
This guide is intended to help you complete a risk assessment
for the chemicals you use in your workplace. A chemical risk
assessment follows the same steps as a risk assessment for
any other hazards in your workplace.
There are three
basic steps:
Identify the hazard:
This involves identifying the
chemicals you have in your
workplace and the hazards
associated with them.
Assess the risk:
This involves assessing the risk
from chemicals or processes in your
workplace.
Control the exposure:
This involves considering the various
recognized control measures to eliminate or
reduce the risk.
