Model WHS Legislation (Control of Workplace Chemicals Regulatory Framework)

The current regulatory framework for the control of workplace hazardous substances and dangerous goods is being reviewed by Safework Australia. The new framework will utilise the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) as the basis for hazard classification and hazard communication elements on labels and material safety data sheets (MSDS).

Haztek have developed chemical management programs to assist organisations in meeting the requirements of the new legislation.
