Potential hazards include detrimental effects on the workers health, property and environment.
The purpose of this document is as an advisory text setting out general procedures for the safe use, handling
and storage of hazardous substances. It is recognised that the ability of staff to identify, assess and control
the use of hazardous substances and dangerous goods is limited to the specific knowledge, training and
