OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY: HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL AGENTS REGULATIONS TO BE REPLACED
- 05 April 2024
- Labour Law
- SA Legal Academy
The Department of Employment & Labour has called for input by 3 July 2024 on draft regulations under the Occupational Health & Safety Act, 1993, dealing with hazardous chemical agents. The intention is that they should repeal and replace those in force since March 2021.
Among other things, the draft regulations cover:
- labelling and packaging (including the disclosure of ingredient identity)
- disposal
- risk assessment
- exposure control (including monitoring, medical screening and medical surveillance)
- the responsibilities of anyone exposed to hazardous chemicals in the workplace, and
- personal protective clothing and facilities.
It is also proposed that the occupational health and safety advisory council should establish a hazardous chemical agents technical committee.
