About Hazardous Chemical Management In The Workplace

Hazardous Chemical Labeling

• All Hazardous Chemical/s used, handled, or stored at the workplace must be correctly labelled according to WHS Regulations.
• This is the responsibility of the person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) at a workplace.
• This requirement also extends to chemicals manufactured at the workplace or transferred/decanted from their original container at the workplace.
• Hazardous Chemicals should be labelled in accordance with the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) requirements.
• GHS labels contain elements that include relevant hazard pictograms, hazard statements, and precautionary statements that correspond to risk and safety phases.
• The current transitional requirements allow businesses to have until January 2017 to comply with the new system.
