Safe Work Australia re-opens workplace exposure standards review
Safe Work Australia has re-opened the workplace exposure standards for public feedback from 1 February 2021.
It’s reviewing the workplace exposure standards for airborne contaminants (WES) to ensure they are based on high quality evidence and supported by a rigorous scientific approach.
In March 2020, consultation on the WES was paused due to COVID-19. Comments for the release of the final 168 draft evaluation reports (release 15) have now recommenced via the workplace exposure standards review on Engage.
