How to comply

There are several solutions for eliminating or controlling exposure to dangerous goods which can be readily implemented.

But it is not enough to simply eliminate the obvious risks – by law occupiers are responsible for controlling all potential safety hazards in their workplace.

Where solutions are not obvious, occupiers should use a process to help them determine the most effective control measures for the noise risks they find in their workplace.

WorkSafe has a range of guidance materials to advise on the required processes and actions that duty-holders must take in order to meet their legal obligations. Codes of Practice, alerts and guidance notes each provide detailed and specific advice for duty-holders seeking to comply with regulations relating to dangerous goods.
