Disposal considerations
Consult SDS before using a chem, and when conducting risk assessment
when unlabelled ontainer found, caution do not use unknown substance, isolate until
identified, label if hazardous, if unidentify, dispose
risk assessment
prior to introduction of new chemicals into workplace
when new info becomes available
basic assessment
review of label and sds of chems and assess risks
decide whether chemicals are already controlled or if further measures are
necessary based on SDS or other reliable source
detailed assessment
needed when significant risk to health due to high risk chems
more specific to work conducted, focuses on already identified hazards within your
speific environment
Controls
aim to eliminate risk first - i.e avoid using or handling entirely
substitute - use less hazardous alternative (dilute instead of concentrate) (paste
instead of powder)
isolate - separate workers from hazards by distance or barriers, enclosed with
extraction, isolate chemicals from eachother if hazardous
engineering - physical controls (mechanical devices or processes) to minimise
hazard to people and environment/property i.e robotic process, enclosed ventilated
systems
admin - safe work policy and procedure, training and signage
ppe - protective gear

Storage
According to SDS,
segregate incompatible chemicals
at correct temperature
do not keep large qtys on site
adequate ventilation
appropriate warning signs
spill and leak containment, spill kits
to provide effective management, reduce risk of spill and fire, prevent mixing and
prevent exposure
restrict access to storerooms
Disposal
to local and state regulations ie epa
appropriate containers and labelling
as much infomration as practicable
avoid combination of incompatible substances
Housekeeping
aware of environment
check for trip hazards
regular cleanup to avoid buildup
inspect storage
clean up spills immediately
Hygiene
reduce exposure
never handle contact lenses, cosmetics smoke eat or drink while using chems
remove ppe prior to leaving work area
remove or replace gloves before using other equipment
wash hands viorously after removing gloves and beforexiting work area mild soap 20
seconds
PPE

report incident
first aid
seek treatment from nearest first aid officer
cuts and wounds - take note of chemical contact, wash with soap and water for
several mins, seek advice from first aid officer, obtain medical attention if
necessary
chemical contact - refer to SDS, or respnonse plan, flood with water from tap or
safety shower for 15 mins, remove contaminated clothing, seek advice from first aid
officer, 000 if needed
eye splash - sds, emergency , 15minutes rinse inner surface of eyelid and eyeball
hold eye open to wash, seek advice, 000 if needed
ingestion - sds, reponse plan, poisons info centre, first aid officer, do not
induce voming unless advised to do so by sds or poisons info centre, 000 if needed
