In this episode host Mark Reggers and guest Jackii Shepherd,
Safe Work Australia’s Director of Occupational Hygiene Policy and
Team Manager for their Workplace Exposure Standards Review continue
where they left off and resume their discussion on 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.
