Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances Human health risk assessment Under the conditions of the occupational settings described, the notified polymer is 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 use pattern, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to the environment. Recommendations Occupational Health and Safety No specific engineering controls, work practices or personal protective equipment are required for the safe use of the notified polymer itself. However, these should be selected on the basis of all ingredients in the formulation. 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 of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) as adopted for industrial chemicals in Australia, workplace practices and control procedures consistent with provisions of State and Territory hazardous substances legislation should be in operation.
