The scope of the assessment and review of Australia’s list of exposure standards will involve:
- developing a methodology for the assessment and review of current exposure standards in consultation with Safe Work Australia staff
- assessing the current 644 exposure standards using this methodology to develop a revised list
- developing criteria for mandatory exposure standards based on risk and recommending a set of mandatory exposure standards using the criteria
- considering whether an updated standard is required for each chemical in the revised list, and if so, recommending a new level for the standard
- reporting on the key findings and recommendations, and
- participating in stakeholder information/consultation sessions
Please note, a detailed toxicological and epidemiological evaluation of the scientific data for each chemical is outside the scope of this project.
