DOES YOUR WORKPLACE USE CHEMICALS? THEN YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO CHRA!
DOES YOUR WORKPLACE USE CHEMICALS? THEN YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO CHRA!
Cleaning agents, paints, thinners, lubricants, welding fumes, diesel, acids and alkalis may be used every day but have their health risks been properly assessed?
Providing gloves and masks does not automatically mean the chemical risks are adequately controlled.
A professional Chemical Health Risk Assessment helps your company determine:
Which hazardous chemicals employees are exposed to How exposure occurs and the level of risk involved Whether existing ventilation and engineering controls are adequate Whether the selected respirators, gloves and eye protection are suitable Whether exposure monitoring or medical surveillance is required What additional control measures should be implemented
Important reminder:
Under the USECHH Regulations 2000, a CHRA must be reviewed when:
More than five years have passed since the previous assessment There is a significant change in the work, process, chemicals or circumstances Directed by the relevant DOSH/JKKP authority
Don’t let your CHRA become just another report sitting in a cabinet!
A proper CHRA should help your company control chemical risks, protect employee health and provide management with clear, practical improvement measures.
