Chemicals don’t cause incidents. Gaps do.
If your workplace uses chemicals, a Safety Data Sheet and good intentions are not enough. You need a clear system to identify hazards, control risk, assign responsibility, and keep reliable records.
Managing Chemicals in the Workplace is a practical, site-focused guide to hazardous chemical management, WHS compliance, and environmental duty of care. It helps you build a safer, more consistent system that stands up to audits, reviews, and investigations.
This book covers the essentials of:
• chemical hazard identification
• exposure pathways and risk controls
• safe storage, segregation, and handling
• emergency readiness and response planning
• chemical registers and audit processes
• roles, responsibilities, and action tracking
• documentation for compliance and continual improvement
Written for people doing the work, not just writing policies, this book is suited to supervisors, HSE/WHS professionals, site managers, maintenance and laboratory teams, procurement and stores staff, contractors, and those entering the field.
The eBook provides a structured 15-unit approach covering chemical review, compliance, contaminant classes, WHS and PPE, chemical mobility, toxicology, exposure control, audit planning, governance, implementation tools, and workplace chemical management systems.
