Webinar – Reviewing the Australian Workplace Exposure Standards

Webinar – Reviewing the Australian Workplace Exposure Standards

In 2019-2020, WSP undertook a review and update of 727 workplace exposure standards and notations for airborne chemical contaminants utilised in Australia for Safe Work Australia. A novel approach to setting concentration limits for chemicals deemed to be non-threshold, genotoxic carcinogens and skin notations will be discussed. Delivered by lead toxicologist, Nathan Aust, this presentation describes the history, background, scientific aspects, and overarching methodology used to undertake the process.
