Determine relevant management measures

Employers should include in their management consideration as to whether the risks from the hazardous chemicals used can be eliminated by

  • Ceasing to use the chemicals;
  • Replacing them by less hazardous chemicals or by the same substances in a less hazardous form; or
  • Using an alternative process.

Where the use of hazardous chemicals cannot be prevented, control measures for the storage, transport, disposal and treatment of hazardous chemicals should be followed.

As you have decided that your country has medium resources to implement an occupational safety and health management scheme, the option proposed is to implement risk management measures based on the GHS.
