P391: Collect spillage AUH031: Contact with liberates toxic gas (ND) This classification should be reflected in Safe Work Australia’s HSIS and should be adopted by industry on publication of this report. Recommendations to importers and state and territory governments Hazard communication Labels It is recommended that importers of the notified chemical update their labels to reflect the new hazards identified by this assessment. In addition, it is recommended that importers review their labels for compliance with the (Safe Work Labelling of workplace hazardous chemicals - Code of practice Australia, 2011a). Safety Data Sheets Under the (Safe Work Australia, 2014) and the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations Commonwealth, state and territory regulations introduced in accordance with these model regulations, employees shall have ready access to SDSs for hazardous substances at their workplace. SDSs, previously called material safety data sheets, provide information to those who use the hazardous substance. It is recommended that importers of the notified chemical update SDSs to reflect the new hazards identified by this assessment. In addition, it is recommended that importers review their SDSs for compliance with the Preparation of safety data sheets for hazardous chemicals - Code of practice (Safe Work Australia, 2011b). A copy of the SDS should be easily accessible to employees. Control measures Occupational controls Employers should ensure that the facility is equipped such that operations involving the notified chemical are performed in a highly controlled manner. The following isolation and engineering controls should be in place to minimise occupational exposure to the notified chemical: Automated processes Local exhaust ventilation Sealed equipment Explosive-proof electrical, ventilating, light and other equipment (ND) Non-sparking tools (ND) Employers should implement the following safe work practices to minimise occupational exposure during handling of the notified chemical: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately Avoid skin contact Workers must have adequate education & training before handling notified chemical Take precautionary measures against static charge (ND) Employers should ensure that the following personal protective equipment is used by workers to minimise occupational exposure to the notified chemical when worker handling is required for limited activities such as pipe disconnection and cleaning: Safety glasses Gloves
