The obligation
PCBUs should assess hazardous chemical risks using labels and safety data sheets, apply controls in order, and review whether control measures are working.
Once all hazardous chemicals used in each stage of the activity are listed, PCBUs should review the labels and safety data sheets to determine the nature and severity of the harm. Remaining risk must be minimised with administrative controls so far as is reasonably practicable, such as restricting access to spray painting areas or keeping hazardous chemical quantities to a minimum.
