A copy of the (M)SDS should be easily accessible to employees. If products and mixtures containing the notified chemical 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. Public Health The following measures should be taken by the notifier to minimise public exposure to the notified chemical: Adequately label the products containing the notified chemical to avoid contact with skin and eyes, and keep out of the reach of children Products containing the notified chemical should only be formulated in non-nitrosating systems, to avoid the formation of hazardous nitrosamines. Disposal The notified chemical should be disposed of to landfill. Emergency procedures Spills or accidental release of the notified chemical 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 additional information on the eye or skin irritation potential of the notified chemical becomes available; additional information on the potential for systemic toxicity of the notified chemical becomes available; Or (2) Under Section 64(2) of the Act; if the function or use of the chemical has changed from a component of liquid laundry detergent, or is likely to change significantly; the amount of chemical being introduced has increased or is likely to increase, significantly; the chemical has begun to be manufactured in Australia; additional information has become available to the person as to an adverse effect of the chemical 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.
