In this episode, the first of a two-part series, guest Jackii
Shepherd, Safe Work Australia’s Director of Occupational Hygiene
Policy and Team Manager for their Workplace Exposure Standards
Review joins host Mark Reggers to discuss the exposure standards
review process.
Under the model work health and safety laws, a workplace exposure
standard is an airborne concentration of a chemical that a worker
cannot be exposed above in the workplace to protect them from harm.
However, because science and technology are always evolving, so too
does our understanding of chemicals, the way we use them and their
impacts on health; as a result, a review process is essential.
