Respiratory protection is warranted if significant inhalation exposure is expected, such as in scenarios with poor ventilation or confined spaces, where aerosols are generated, and those maintenance processes where equipment containing kerosine is opened. Guidance in selection of personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian, Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards. Where appropriate, workplace monitoring of atmospheric levels should be carried out to confirm that controls are sufficient to reduce exposure. Employers should take precautions to the control the flammability risks of the notified chemical at workplaces. A copy of the MSDS should be easily accessible to employees. If products and mixtures containing the notified chemical are classified as hazardous to health in accordance with the [NOHSC:1008(2004)] Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances workplace practices and control procedures consistent with provisions of State and Territory hazardous substances legislation must be in operation. Disposal The notified chemical should be disposed of by incineration. Storage The following precautions should be regarding storage of the notified chemical: Store in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition Emergency procedure Spills or accidental release of the notified chemical should be handled by physical containment, collection and subsequent safe disposal. Transport and Packaging The notified chemical is a Dangerous Good 3, Flammable Liquid) under the ADG code. All relevant requirements for transport, packaging, labelling and storage should be complied with. Regulatory Obligations Secondary Notification This risk assessment is based on the information available at the time of notification. The Director may call for the reassessment of the chemical under secondary notification provisions based on changes in certain circumstances. Under Section 64 of the the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act (1989) notifier, as well as any other importer or manufacturer of the notified chemical, have post-assessment regulatory obligations to notify NICNAS when any of these circumstances change. These obligations apply even when the notified chemical is listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS). Therefore, the Director of NICNAS must be notified in writing within 28 days by the notifier, other importer or manufacturer: (1) Under Section 64(1) of the Act; if GTL kerosine is intended for domestic uses. or (2) Under Section 64(2) of the Act; if the function or use of the chemical has changed from fuel for jet and turbo power airplanes and helicopters., or is likely to change significantly;
