This includes ensuring the safe use, handling and storage of substances.
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.
An organisation has a duty of care to ensure the provision of information, training, instruction and supervision to workers who may need to handle dangerous goods or hazardous substances. This training is designed for workers that may handle dangerous goods and/or hazardous substances.
