Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances The environmental hazard classification according to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and (GHS) is presented below. Environmental classification under the GHS is not mandated Labelling of Chemicals in Australia and carries no legal status but is presented for information purposes. Hazard classification Hazard statement Acute Category 1 H400 Very toxic to aquatic life – Chronic Category 3 H412 Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects – health risk assessment Provided that the recommended controls are adhered to, under the conditions of the occupational settings described, the notified chemical is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to the health of workers. When used in the proposed manner, the notified chemical is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to public health. Environmental risk assessment On the basis of the PEC/PNEC ratio and the reported use pattern, the notified chemical is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to the environment. Recommendations Occupational Health and Safety A person conducting a business or undertaking at a workplace should implement the following engineering controls to minimise occupational exposure to the notified chemical during reformulation processes: Enclosed, automated processes, where possible Adequate general ventilation and local exhaust ventilation A person conducting a business or undertaking at a workplace should implement the following safe work practices to minimise occupational exposure to the notified chemical during reformulation processes: Avoid contact with eyes Avoid formation of mists/aerosols
