workplace practices and control procedures consistent with provisions of State and Territory hazardous substances legislation must be in operation. Public Health Products marketed to the public containing the notified polymer should not recommend application by spraying. Disposal The notified polymer should be disposed of to landfill. Emergency procedures Spills or accidental release of the notified polymer should be handled by physical containment, collection and subsequent safe disposal. 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 the polymer has a number-average molecular weight of less than 1000; additional information becomes available as to the sensitisation or corrosion/irritation potential of the notified polymer. (2) Under Section 64(2) of the Act; if the function or use of the polymer has changed from as a component of coatings and paint (<30%) for both industrial and DIY uses, or is likely to change significantly; the amount of polymer being introduced has increased from 200 tonnes/annum, or is likely to increase, significantly; the polymer has begun to be manufactured in Australia; additional information has become available to the person as to an adverse effect of the polymer on occupational health and safety, public health, or the environment. The Director will then decide whether a reassessment (i.e. a secondary notification and assessment) is required. Material Safety Data Sheet The MSDS of the product containing the notified polymer provided by the notifier was reviewed by NICNAS. The accuracy of the information on the MSDS remains the responsibility of the applicant.
