Guidance in selection of personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian, Australian/New Zealand or 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 and Territory hazardous substances legislation should be in operation. Disposal reuse or recycling are not appropriate, dispose of the notified polymer in an environmentally sound manner in accordance with relevant Commonwealth, state, territory and local government legislation. 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 polymer 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 becomes available on the human health toxicity of the notified polymer; or (2) Section 64(2) of the Act; if the function or use of the polymer has changed from resin for fabrication of glass-reinforced parts , or is likely to change significantly; the amount of polymer being introduced has increased, 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 (M)SDS of the product containing the notified polymer provided by the notifier was reviewed by NICNAS. The accuracy of the information on the (M)SDS remains the responsibility of the applicant. ASSESSMENT DETAILS APPLICANT AND NOTIFICATION DETAILS
