SUMMARY The following details will be published in the NICNAS Chemical Gazette: ASSESSMENT APPLICANT(S) CHEMICAL OR HAZARDOUS INTRODUCTION USE REFERENCE TRADE NAME VOLUME LTD/1754 A S Harrison & Polymer in OLI ND Fuel Additive ≤ 100 tonnes per Co Limited 9000.m annum *ND = not determined CONCLUSIONS AND REGULATORY OBLIGATIONS Hazard classification Based on the available information, the notified polymer is not recommended for classification according to the (GHS), as adopted for industrial Globally Harmonised System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals chemicals in Australia, or the (NOHSC, 2004). Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances Human health risk assessment Under the conditions of the occupational settings described, the notified polymer not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to the health of workers. When used in the proposed manner, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to public health. Environmental risk assessment On the basis of the reported use pattern, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to the environment. Recommendations Occupational Health and Safety Guidance in selection of personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian, Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards. A copy of the (M)SDS should be easily accessible to employees. If products and mixtures containing the notified polymer are classified as hazardous to health in accordance with the Globally Harmonised System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals as adopted for industrial chemicals in Australia, workplace practices and control procedures (GHS) consistent with provisions of State and Territory hazardous substances legislation should be in operation. 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.
