Section 1: Hazardous Chemical Management
1.0 Assessment Task 1: Hazardous Chemical Management
Case Study: Youngwood Day Centre
Jonathon Simmons was a full-time employee working at the disability day service called
Youngwood Day Centre in Melbourne, Victoria. He worked in the support staff section.
Part of his job involved cleaning the bathrooms every morning with Hypochlor.
Jonathon was not told that the disinfectant is a very strong alkaline chemical that could cause
serious burns if it came in contact with skin, and he was not inducted at the commencement of
employment. He had not received any training and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) was not provided.
When Jonathon was filling his two litre pump bottle from the big storage container he accidentally
squirted a very small amount into the air near his face. When he did this, he noticed that the fumes
made his eyes and throat very sore, and he started coughing uncontrollably.
Jonathon complained to his supervisor, who told him not to worry about it. Jonathon talked to a
fellow employee and found out who the health and safety representative was, but Jonathon decided
it would probably be alright.
A few days later on Friday 19 February 2021 at 9:00 am, Jonathon was doing his cleaning work
alone in the men’s staff bathroom. He was dressed in his usual shorts, shirts and thongs.
While he was working the lid of the pump bottle, he was using broke, spilling the Hypochlor all
over both his legs and the floor. As he tried to get out of the way he slipped into the spill and broke
his right ankle. He also sustained some mild chemical burns and was treated by Vicki Taylor a first
aid person at the centre.

 Record the collecting data and apply control measures
 Supervise the performance and apply the legislation on the hazardous chemicals.(Kish,
2018).
1.3 How can you identify hazardous chemicals and tasks involving their use in the workplace?
ANSWER: To identification of the hazardous chemicals, there is require to check the product's
container label and check the safety data sheet which is provided by the supplier. If the product is
classified under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and in safety data sheet, then it is called as
hazardous chemical (Newaz, and et. al., 2021).
1.4 What is a safety data sheet and what information is on a safety data sheet?
ANSWER: Safety data sheet is a document that provide the information about the health and
safety. The document is including information about products, substances and chemicals that
are classified as the hazardous substances or dangerous goods. The safety data sheet includes
the information about the properties of each chemical which are associated with physical
health and environment health hazards. It is also including protective measure and safety
precautions for handling, storing and transporting the chemical (Jatana, and et. al., 2019).
1.5 What hazardous substances have mandatory monitoring requirements?
ANSWER: There are some flammable, oxidizing, explosives, gas under pressure, toxic, serious
health hazards, corrosive and environmental hazards. Hazardous substances include acids,
heavy metals including mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminium, disinfectant, caustic substances,
pesticides and petroleum products (You, and et. al., 2019).

.
1.6 Who needs to know the outcomes of workplace monitoring?
ANSWER: Employees need to monitor outcomes and record the exposure of workers to hazardous
chemicals to ensure their safety and health. They should check that workers are not exposed to
chemical to a stage in which transcend exposure limit. These are also need to know the other
exposure criteria for the evaluation and control of working environment (Boadu, Wang and
Sunindijo, 2021).
Case Study Questions:
1.7 Identify all the duty holders and describe their duties and responsibilities in relation to
hazardous chemical management in Youngwood Day Centre. Ensure you list which sections
of the relevant OHS Act and Regulations apply to this scenario. You can answer this question
in a Table.
ANSWER: Managers and Supervisor are responsible for the hazardous chemical managements.
These are responsible for the implement operational policies and safety procedures and train staff to
understand their WHS duties and responsibilities, chemical hazards and hoe to do their job safely.
These should provide the adequate supervision and discipline staff who do not follow safety
instruction. According to the Occupational health and safety Act section 21, section 22, section 35
and chapter 4 is related with the duties and responsibilities of duties holders and these are also cover
hazardous substances and material (Reddy and Yarrakula, 2018)
1.8 How can Youngwood Day Centre ensure that the incident is not repeated in the future?
ANSWER: Youngwood day Centre firstly understand hazard and risk which includes hazardous
sources which act as starting point for adverse flow of events. Then understand about the initiating
mechanism which interact with the hazardous sources and increase threat level to person and
aircraft. The organization should require to secure the area of the incident to avoid disturbing the
scene. The centre requires to keep a list of witnesses and compile all the information in a file. It
should determine the direct cause which includes the material which were involved in the accident,
second one is indirect issue which includes the that unsafe conditions led to accident and the last
one is the basic cause which includes the basic problems and environmental factor. The centre
requires to make important recommendations which is associated with the actions must be taken to
correct the situation. It is issue a report and make sure that the report is circulated to all the
managers, supervisors and other members of upper management. They should inform to the
employees about how and why the accident occurred and what steps are taking to correct the
problems (Applegate and et. al., 2018).
1.9 Refer to the manufacturer’s SDS on the Hypochlor (supplied on Moodle):
Date: May 2022 Version 5.0 Page 9 of 46

1.9.1 Describe the Health Hazards.
ANSWER: Health hazards are chemical, physical, biological, safety, ergonomic and workload
hazard which are present in the environment that can have negative impact on long term and short
term effect on health. Exposure of hazard can occur through touch, inhalation and ingestion. These
are help to understand the risk and take action to avoid or mitigate these risks. Hypochlor cause
local inflammation and this is also cause nausea, vomiting and burns in the oesophagus. It is cause
the minor first degree burns of the oesophagus mucosa and vomiting may cause the volume
depletion. The diluted Hypochlor is cause irritation on the skin but strong Hypochlor solution can
cause burning, pain, redness and swelling (Ruttenberg and Rice, 2019).
1.9.2 Describe the Handling requirements
ANSWER: It should need to neutralize with Sodium Bi sulphite and cover with soda ash and place
into cover containers for disposal or wash with plenty of water. Always carefully read the
information which is given by the safety data sheet for every chemical product. When use
Hypochlor add this into water, not add water in this. This is never mix in the other cleaning
products or ammonia. This may release the hazardous gases into the environment which may cause
illness or physical injury. It is also make sure that the label of the bottles with the correct strength of
the solution. The label is also carry the date of preparation and sign of keep all bleach products out
of reach of children (Khatri, and et. al., 2021).
1.9.3 Describe the PPE requirements
ANSWER: PPE requirement refereed to personal protective equipment which are used to minimize
the exposure of hazards that cause serious illness and injury at workplace. PPE requirements
may include items such as gloves, safety glasses, earplugs, shoes, hard hats, respirators, vests
and full body suits. These are used to protect from chemical, radiological, electrical, physical
and other workplace hazards. PPE should be safely designed, constructed and maintained in a
clean and reliable fashion.
1.9.4 Describe the Storage requirements
ANSWER: Hypochlor is best stored for the longest time at temperature around below 60°F. When
it is filtered and free of impurities, at diluted concentration than maintain pH above 10. It is stored
in away from the direct sunlight exposure because it is show decomposition effect by ultraviolet
radiation and heat. It should be stored away from the reach of children (van Ewijk, and Weber,
2021).

Section 2: Hazardous Chemical Management
2.0 Assessment Task 2: Hazardous Chemical Management
2.1 Describe a specific inCrystalline Silicarial process (working with engineered stone or
welding) in which exposure to a Hazardous Substance in the form of Crystalline Silicas,
mists or fumes has to be controlled. Name the Hazardous Substance and the Crystalline
Silica or fume generated.
ANSWER: InCrystalline Silicaries require to regulate an employer and a person which are
responsible for the control workplace. There is must ensure that the availability of power tool which
are used for the cutting grinding, or abrasive polishing of engineering stone. Hazardous substances
are including lead, asbestos and crystalline silica (Ya, and et. al., 2019).
2.2 Identify and source current OHS legislation relating to controlling the hazardous substance.
List the relevant sections of the OHS Act/Regulations relevant to the inCrystalline Silicarial
process and reference material sourced.
ANSWER: OHS stand for occupational safety and health is an organisation which provides the
various guidelines through OHS legislation regarding the health, safety of people. The various
legislation which is related to controlling the hazardous substance and their regulation which is
related to inCrystalline Silicarial process are as follows:
 The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 2004: this legislation provides a safe and healthy
environment to workers as well as under this act the inCrystalline Silicary have to monitor
the condition of workplace and according to this act inCrystalline Silicary have to provides
training, instruction as well as necessary instruction to employees for working safely.
 The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2007: this legislation provides the list of
all hazardous chemical substance as well as also mention the carcinogenic substances and
regulation details, risk control and hazard identification etc.
2.3 How would you identify the hazardous substance(s) generated by the inCrystalline Silicarial
process?
ANSWER: The hazardous substances which is generated by inCrystalline Silicarial process are
acids, caustic substances, heavy metals including cadmium, lead, mercury and aluminium, plastics,
disinfectants, pesticides, petroleum products, solvents etc. the process of identification of hazardous
substances which is generated by inCrystalline Silicarial process are include the regular checking
the label of product 's container which is accessible from the suppliers. Another way to identify the
hazardous substance in inCrystalline Silicary is by checking of safety data sheets (SDS) and labels
which is a type of documents which contains the physical and chemical properties of material as
well as there should be correct labelling of hazardous substances in containers for identification of
hazardous substances which is generated by inCrystalline Silicarial process.

2.4 What are the acute and chronic health effects of being exposed to the generated hazardous
substance(s) Crystalline Silica, mist or fumes, during the inCrystalline Silicarial process
without any controls in place
ANSWER: Acute health effect by hazardous substance is the effect which shows their action by
hazardous substance immediately after the exposure. Acute health effect shows negative health
effect which develop within in minute. Acute health effect includes rashes, dermatitis, dry skin,
irritation, burn skin, temporary hearing loss, nose irritation, coughing, sneezing, hay fever etc.
The chronic health effect of hazardous substances is long term health effect caused by
prolonged exposure of Crystalline Silica, mist and fumes and it is very harmful for organs. The
chronic health effect which is arises in inCrystalline Silicary due to prolonged exposure of chemical
substance like Crystalline Silica, mist and fumes are weakening of immune system, development of
asthma, reproductive and birth defects, organ damage like lungs when there is continuous exposure
of Crystalline Silica and fumes as well as cancer.
2.5 Explain the type of monitoring that needs to be undertaken to determine compliance with
any exposure standards. List the exposure standard(s).
ANSWER: The monitoring process is the way which help in hygiene program for any inCrystalline
Silicary. The monitoring process which is needed to understand the exposure standard are very
important because it reduce the risk level of health. The monitoring process include biological
monitoring, measuring noise or vibration levels, wipe sampling etc. The exposure standards for
hazardous chemicals are as follows:
1. Hazard identification: it is the process to identify the harmful substances in the working
environment.
2. Risk assessment: it includes the assessment which happens during exposure like injury and
illness.
3. Risk evaluation: the process of compare the risk which is estimated to risk which is given.
2.6 To deal with the above inCrystalline Silicarial process, step through the Risk Assessment
process (each and every step). Refer to Appendix 5 for a copy of the risk assessment form to
be used. Refer to Appendix 6 for the Risk Matrix.
ANSWER: for dealing the inCrystalline Silicarial process the step which is comes under the risk
assessment process and which are included in appendix 5 are identification of hazardous chemicals,
evaluation of risk and control measures. The appendix 5 of risk assessment process consist of risk
analysis, risk identification, risk evaluation, risk level, risk treatment and post control.
Risk matrix is a process of identifying the level of risk during the assessment and it enhance
the level of assistance of decision making. The appendix 6 for the risk matrix in the risk assessment
process include the probability of event, severity scale of hazardous chemicals.
2.7 Who would be involved in the Risk Assessment process and why?
Date: May 2022 Version 5.0 Page 14 of 46

ANSWER: In carrying out risk assessment company should consult employees and health and
safety representatives. The risk manager will have developed plans to control and reduce risk. The
implementation of all risk control, safety and loss prevention action responsibilities remains for the
managements. It is a valuable way to involving the staff who are involving with the company. Most
of the employee conduct a general assessment to identify the risk and control measures. Risk
assessment process is help to persons to take control over their own lives by making informed
decisions about the risk. It will help to take effective decision and their management.
2.8 Using the Hierarchy of Control step through the controls that would be put in place to
mitigate the risk of exposure. This stepwise process should show how you would control the
risk of exposure. I expect detail for each level of control. Answer this question in the Risk
Control Measure Form (Appendix 7).
ANSWER: The risk control measures are the process which reduce the risk factor and it decrease
the level of accidents and harm at inCrystalline Silicarial area. The risk control measures include
avoidance, loss reduction, separation, loss prevention etc. the various ways by which risk of
hazardous substances can control through the following process according to appendix 7:
 Elimination: the process by which hazardous chemical are removed by physical way and
help in risk control.
 Substitution: it is the process by which hazardous substance are replacing by another
substance.
 Administrative controls: the way of risk control which focus on changing the way by
additional training,
 PPE: It is the process of risk control which include the personal protection by wearing PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment).
2.9 Describe the two types of Engineering Controls which would be necessary to prevent
exposure in the above situation
ANSWER: The basic type of engineering controls are the process control and ventilation. Process
control is describes as changing the way in the job process which are taking to reduce the risk. To
control the process monitoring should be done before and after the changing in the procedures. The
process control includes those methods which are taken rather than current process. For example,
process control change includes use of steam cleaning instead of solvent degreasing. To use this
method, it is necessary to evaluate the potential high temperature hazards being introduced. Second
type of engineering control is ventilation which is used to control that strategically adds & removes
air in the working environment. Ventilation can remove Crystalline Silica and dilute contaminated
air. There is local exhaust ventilation use for controlling hazardous exposures. The ventilation
system is design plays a crucial role and must match the particular process and chemical and
contaminant is used. This is also check with the local environment ministry and municipality for
any environmental air regulations.

2.10 Nominate the type of PPE which would be necessary to prevent exposure in the above
situation if there were no controls in place. Give details of the PPE including specific type of
PPE for the hazardous substance generated its brand name, approximate cost and
availability. Explain why you have chosen this PPE
ANSWER: The PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) which is used to prevent chemical exposure
in inCrystalline Silicary are respirators which is used to cover nose and mouth or entire head and
prevent from contaminated gases, Crystalline Silica and fumes. The PPE also includes gloves which
is made up of latex or nitrile and disposable in nature as well as full apron, glass resistant to
chemicals, face shields, footwear etc.
DuPont “safe SPEC” is The specific type of PPE which is used for hazardous substances
and protection from exposure and cost of this brand is not too much high and its availability is very
high because it provides extra durability. The reason behind to choose this PPE provides garments
which is helpful in thermal, mechanical, and thermal hazards.
2.11 What are the limitations of the Risk Controls, in preventing exposure to the hazardous
substance generated by the inCrystalline Silicarial process?
ANSWER: Limitations of risk factor is defined as the group of strategy which decrease the
company’s exposure. The limitations in risk controls include the various factor which is preventing
the exposure of hazardous substance which is generated by inCrystalline Silicarial process are as
follows:
 variations in individuals and species which creates contaminations: every species have
different tolerance capacity with the effect of contaminations.
 Environmental conditions like PH, temperature, transformation and degradation: these
factors limit the risk assessment because every chemical have different PH, temperature and
degradation level.
 Information gap between process and mechanism: it enhances the risk assessment because it
affects the function of organs and their interaction.
 Presence of contaminations: it also limits the risk control because it enhances the hazardous
level.
2.12 What recommended training should be implemented in the workplace?
ANSWER: The training recommendations which is essential for enhancing the ability of workers
in workplace included the following skills:
 supervisory skills: this include the training of managers and tip authorities of inCrystalline
Silicary; it enhances the ability of inCrystalline Silicary to run smoothly.
 Creative thinking and grooming program: this training includes the soft skills of workers,
and enhance the innovative power of workers.
 Awareness of workplace ethics: this training provides the rule and regulation which is
related to workplace ethics.
 Change management training: this training enhances the capacity of workers to work
effectively in changing environment also.

2.13 What workplace procedures need to be developed?
ANSWER: workplace procedure is the list of policies which is implemented to workplace and
provides a healthy environment to workers and also provides a better way to understand the rules
and regulations of company. The workplace procedures which is need to be developed are as
follows:
 Attendance policy: it is very important part of job policy it provides the better schedule to
work effectively.
 Documentation: it is very important process in workplace because it contains all details of
person.
 Email policy: the inCrystalline Silicary or company have email of each and every employee
because it prevents from fraud activity.
 Non-smoking policy: the workplace has no smoking policy to protect environment from
pollution and also protect from fire in chemical inCrystalline Silicary from explosive or
dangerous chemicals.
 Anti-discrimination and harassment policy: the workplace is free from discrimination and
there is strict rules and punishment for harassing process.
2.14 How would you obtain input and feedback from required personnel regarding the procedures
and processes to be implemented regarding the controls for the inCrystalline Silicarial
process?
ANSWER: The feedback process includes the merit and demerit of anything, the process of
obtaining the input and feedback of required personnel regarding the procedures and process which
is implemented regarding the controls for the inCrystalline Silicarial process are to watch
employees work: it is the best way which provides the personnel feedback by observing the
performance of employees and workers. Such feedback will serve as a base for the making better
improvements. In addition to this, such feedback will be used to enhance the level of employee
engagement at the workplace. The performance of employees is also included in feedback and it is
increase by engagement of employees.
2.15 As part of the review and monitoring requirements what would you monitor and review and
how often?
ANSWER: The monitoring department includes all the process which enhance the well-functioning

3.8 What is a sampling plan and how is it established?
ANSWER: A sampling plan is a document that explains how an organization will meet its
monitoring requirements. Briefly the sampling plan is addresses as how contaminant is sampled,
what is being sampled, when and how often occurs, where sampling occurs and who involved in the
sampling or monitoring process. There are two type of sampling which includes grab sampling and
continuous monitoring. According to grab sampling, it occurs over a short time of period of time
using instantaneous methods such as colorimetric tubes. It is used to confirm the presence of a
contaminant. On the other hand, continuous monitoring can be passive or active. Passive sampling
is including sensitive badges while active sampling uses pumps or similar. Continuous monitoring
is useful to establish exposure over a shift.
To establish a sampling plan firstly identify the contaminants that are present in the work
environment. Worker should be consulted and the organization's information system is used to
create a list of contaminants. The list should be including raw material, finished product and by-
products. The workplace should be examined for some parameter after listing the potential
contaminants. These includes task, work organization, processes, workplace layout, safety method
and procedures, duration of exposure, emission sources, ventilation and other means of control
sources. Then exposure can be evaluated to determine the location and characteristics of each
source, number of emission sources and emission rates for each sources. It is also including the
dispersion of the contaminant by air current and nature & effectiveness of the control measures.
There are some parameters to consider in task execution. There includes proximity of the worker to
the emission sources, time that the worker spends near the emission sources and method that may
cause on increases the emission.
3.9 What information is collected during the sampling process for each of your selected three
agents and/or conditions?
ANSWER:
Date: May 2022 Version 5.0 Page 22 of 46

Agent / Condition Information collected during the sampling process
Crystalline Silica  Date, time and duration of collection
 location where information and data were collected
 Readouts and measurements taken
Noise  Number of person present when measurements were
taken
 Location of workplace where information and data will
collected
 Read out all information and measurements taken
Lead  Number of hazardous substances at the time of
measurement were taken.
 Locations where information and data were collected.
 Appropriate sampling method, for example: grab
sampling and continuous monitoring.
3.10 Who should you consult with for each of your selected three agents and/or conditions before
conducting the sampling process and how does that consultation occur?
ANSWER:
Agent / Condition Consultation Process
Crystalline silica Workers must be consulted regarding the selection of the
registered medical practitioner will supervise or perform the
health monitoring. The worker should also be told that possible
health effects from exposure and programs for health
monitoring aim to achieve and its benefits.
Noise Employees and manager must guide which provides the general
information about health monitoring. The worker should
involve in the health monitoring programs and any
requirements for them to see a doctor or specialist.
Lead Manager and supervisor should be consulted regarding the
selection of the medical practitioner who will perform the
health monitoring.
Date: May 2022 Version 5.0 Page 23 of 46

3.11 How can you check the operability of each of the sampling equipment you will use for each
of your selected three agents and/or conditions?
ANSWER:
Agent / Condition Operability of the sampling equipment
Crystalline Silica Once measure and decide on sampling strategies, need to select
that equipment to collect the Crystalline Silica sample. Then
check the battery serviceability and availability of appropriate
attachments, leads, filters etc.
Noise To check the noise equipment operability there is need to that
equipment is battery powered and check the batteries on the
regular basis. The manufacturer of the equipment should
maintained schedules to ensure the equipment remain in good
operating order.
Lead Operability of equipment includes the battery serviceability,
ability of appropriate attachments leads, filters etc. There is also
include functionality and the unit has been tested. There can be
legal requirements for routine testing of monitoring equipment
and check the records to make sure the testing is up to date.
3.12 Define what is calibration?
ANSWER: Calibration of the air flow rate through the sampling system is important and should be
check before AND after every sample is taken. It is sampling process use aims to minimise the
introduction of systematic errors and combat any random errors that may arise. Fundamental to the
use of any measuring instrument to prevent the introduction of systematic errors is calibration.
Calibration is the comparison of measurements values delivered by a device under test with
those of a calibration standard of known accuracy. Such as standard could be another measurement
device of known accuracy or a device generating the quality to be measured such as a voltage,
sound tone and a physical artefact (Logan, and Loh, 2022).
3.13 For one piece of sampling equipment that you have chosen, explain how will it be
calibrated?
ANSWER: Sound level meter can be calibrated by these steps:
 Locate sound level meter, acoustic calibrator and barometer. Barometer only required for
calibrating class 1 equipment where reading must be correct for atmospheric pressure.
 Turn on sound meter and allow it to stabilise and acclimatise to the conditions that it will be
used. Navigate to the calibration screen at this point don't start the calibration process.
Date: May 2022 Version 5.0 Page 24 of 46

 Carefully place the calibrator over the microphone capsule, ensuring not to twist either your
sound meter or the calibrator as this can damage the microphones.
 Activate the calibrator at the desired tone which is normally 94dB. Calibrator may have the
secondary tone, usually either 104dB, which may want to check sound meter to as a
references after the calibration process (Pertiwi, and Margaretha, 2022).
 Within the sound meter again press OK to begin the calibration process. Leave the calibrator
on until the process has been completed. Normally between 5-20 second depending on the
manufacturer and the model.
 The sound meter will notify whether it has passed or failed the calibration at this point. If
passed, that is good to go and perform measurements.
 If the procedure fails, check that the calibrator is correctly attach to the microphones and is
switched on at the desired level, then perform the calibration procedures again by a
removing the calibrator and starting from step 2.
 If checked the calibrator and sound meter and the calibration procedure continues to fail, it is
recommended that contact the sound meter manufacturer and a reputable calibration
laboratory (Pisaniello, and et. al., 2020).
3.14 For one piece of sampling equipment that you have chosen, explain how you can test the
sampling equipment?
ANSWER: There are several sampling methods which can use to test sampling equipment.
Direct measuring method: this includes the hand-pump detector tube and diffusive
detector tube. These methods are quick to manifest results so the employer can immediately take a
preventive course of action to safeguard the health of workers.
Instrumental methods: These are used to measure the concentration of chemical impurities
in the air and determine the atmosphere of a workplace before entering. These devise includes multi
gas detectors to detect the presence of chemical compounds.
Air sampling methods: These includes charcoal absorbent tube, cyclone samplers and gas
bags. With the exception of air bags, all air sampling devices can be used for personal as well as
fixed point monitoring. Charcoal absorbent tubes are used for sampling organic vapour. Cyclone
sampler are used for sampling repairable Crystalline Silica. Cowl sampler are used for fibre
sampling (Phifer and McTigue, 2020).
3.15 How would you undertake the sampling in the workplace for each of your selected three
agents and/or conditions?
ANSWER:
3.16 How would you protect your own health and safety while undertaking each of the three
sampling processes?
Date: May 2022 Version 5.0 Page 25 of 46

ANSWER:
Agent / Condition Health and Safety Considerations
Crystalline Silica A Crystalline Silica is considered to be a substances hazardous
to health under WHS monitoring if it is present at a
concentration in air equal or greater than 10mg/m3 is for
inhalable Crystalline Silica or 4mg/m3 is for respiratory
Crystalline Silica as a substance hazardous to health.
Noise Exposure to loud noise kills the nerve endings in our inner ear.
More exposure will result in more dead nerve endings. The
result is permanent hearing loss that cannot be corrected
through surgery or with medicine.
Lead Isolate hazardous substances in septate storage areas. Ventilate
storage areas separately. From the rest of the workplaces.
Provide personal protective equipment.
3.17 How would you record the readings of each of your sampling processes?
ANSWER:
3.18 What do you need to do to reinstate sampling equipment ready for storage and dispose of
disposable parts?
ANSWER: At the completion of the sampling the equipment must be dismantled and carefully
pack for transport. There are sometimes need to cleaning to protect the equipment as well as to
prevent the transport of contaminant and cross contamination during future sampling (Leka, and
Jain, 2021).
3.19 How should you store the sampling equipment?
ANSWER: The sampling equipment storing should conform to the manufacturer's requirements
and workplace procedures. The security for the equipment should also be considered. If the
equipment is going to be stored for any length of time, consider removing the batteries according to
the manufacturer's guidance. The sampling collection medium is discarded once the reading has
been recorded. Disposal must be appropriate, for example, a used detector tube has sharp ends and
contains a material that may be hazardous (Pertiwi, and Margaretha, 2022).
3.20 How would you analyse each sampling outcome?
ANSWER:
Date: May 2022 Version 5.0 Page 26 of 46

3.21 Who would need the information from each of the sampling processes and what information
or data might they require?
ANSWER:
3.22 How should you store the monitoring records and how long must you keep them?
ANSWER: For monitoring airborne contaminants level there must be record of results of air
monitoring to be kept for 30 years after the date the record is made. A record of the full name, date
of birth and address of each worker likely to be exposed to the prohibited carcinogen or restricted
carcinogen during the period of authorization must be kept for 30 years after the authorization ends.
Under health and safety legislation record there is need to monitoring airborne contaminant level,
confined spaces, electrical installation and major hazard facilities (Lee-Gannon, and et. al., 2022).

Preferred control option(s) and why. Short explanation
01 High Elimination: It is the process of
removing the hazards from the
workplace. It is the most effective
way to control a risk because the
hazard is no longer present.
Risk control measures are an important tool to aid in prevention of accident
and injury at the workplace.
Substitution: It is occurring when
a new chemical or substances that
are less hazardous is used instead
of other chemical.
Substitution of currently used products with less hazardous chemical is one
of the most effective ways of eliminating or reducing exposure to products
that are toxic and pose other hazards.
Isolation: It is the process that is
control measure designed to isolate
the risk itself from the employee
that may experience it and isolate
access to the risk factor to only
authorized personnel.
Isolation of the chemical is restricting the amount of chemical keep in
working areas by storing them in safety cabinet.
Engineering: Engineering controls It is minimize the generation of hazardous chemicals and it is suppress or

Administrative: If a risk is still
remains after implementing
administrative controls.
Administrative controls are written
policies and procedure.
This is assessing in the reducing the number of people exposed to
hazardous chemicals.
Personal Protective Equipment:
It is the least effective way to
protect workers from workplace
hazard. PPE includes respirators,
eye protection, hearing protection,
gloves and protecting clothing.
PPE protect its user against any physical hazards that are present in the
workplace environment.
Comments: These are important for managing risk which are associated with the chemical hazardous. These assess in the minimize the negative
effect. The most effective control is elimination. If the elimination cannot be achieving the other controls must be used which includes substitution,
isolation and engineering control. The administrative control and PPE are the lower order controls and these are not used as primary method to
controls.
