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.
