Chemical Safety in the Workplace
This guideline is to help you find out about the
chemicals that are used in your workplace.
When you complete the checklists, you will:
- Have a complete list of the chemicals in your workplace
- Know where they are located, how much you have and who is using them
- Know about the risks they pose
- Confirm whether necessary controls are in place
- Where controls are lacking, identify corrective action to be taken.
