What does 95 require?

An employer takes general preventive measures, administrative and technical, to prevent contamination of the work environment or cut it as low as possible, or at least, where appropriate, to within the exposure limits the Commissioner gazettes. Hazardous substances are replaced by harmless or less harmful ones whenever possible; operations likely to contaminate the environment are isolated from the remaining premises so fewer people are exposed; processes where exposure to very hazardous substances is a significant risk are performed, so far as reasonably practicable, within enclosed systems preventing contact; direct contact is avoided by automatic processes or remote control where reasonably practicable; only properly authorised, adequately trained workers take part in dangerous operations and their training is refreshed at suitable intervals; and a worker who has to enter an atmosphere where a hazardous substance is present in harmful concentration is told fully about the hazards and is given, and wears, appropriate protective equipment.

83-84 Explosive dust, hot work on vessels and electrical apparatus: enclosure of dust-producing plant, removal of escaped dust and exclusion of ignition sources, chokes, baffles and vents on plant not built to withstand an explosion, no welding, brazing, soldering or heat cutting on plant, tanks or vessels that hold or held explosive or inflammable substances until the substance and fumes are removed or made safe and no refilling until the metal has cooled, and electrical apparatus, fittings and conductors adequate for their work and constructed, installed, protected, worked and maintained to prevent danger
85-86 Toxic materials and drenching facilities: toxic materials used only where non-toxic alternatives are not reasonably practicable, exposed numbers minimised and antidotes kept where recognised, work with toxic materials only under an efficient exhaust draught that prevents dangerous escape, no eating, drinking or smoking where ingestion is a risk, washing facilities near the point of use, and on the Commissioner's notice additional bathing facilities, periodic medical examinations and protective clothing; where dangerous or corrosive liquids are used, readily accessible means of drenching with water and clearly signed eye-flushing facilities
87-88 Confined spaces and asphyxiant gases: adequate means of exit, entry only after fumes are removed and a test shows the space is free of dangerous fumes with a belt and rope held from outside, or with suitable breathing apparatus, assured air supply, trained rescuers with breathing and reviving apparatus readily available, manholes of the prescribed minimum dimensions; and where ammonia, chlorine, carbon dioxide or other asphyxiant or irritant gases may be present, relocation, ventilation or other measures to remove the danger and approved breathing apparatus kept ready for rescue and making premises safe
89-90 Heavy loads and radiation: no worker required to lift, carry or move a load heavy enough to be likely to injure them; effective practicable measures to restrict exposure to ionising radiation, exposure to ionising radiation, lasers, ultraviolet, infrared and other electromagnetic radiation and to vibration including ultrasonic vibration kept to no more than reasonably necessary with everything practicable done to minimise it
91-92 Personal protective equipment and eye protection: where a process is likely to cause bodily injury that other means cannot prevent, suitable personal protective equipment and clothing for every worker at risk, supplied and maintained free of charge with instructions for use; goggles or effective screens for the Schedule 8 processes; and screening against electric arc flash for people other than the welders
96-97 Chemical safety data sheets and labelling: manufacturers and importers provide employers with chemical safety data sheets giving identity, supplier, classification, hazards, precautions and emergency procedures, and the employer forwards a copy of each to the Commissioner; the employer ensures packages of hazardous chemicals delivered to the workplace are labelled and accompanied by the data sheet, keeps a register of data sheets at the workplace, and gives copies of the sheets and the register to the workers concerned and their representatives for consultation at any time
98 Duties of suppliers, manufacturers, importers and distributors: machines, process plant, instruments and vehicles designed and supplied in a suitable condition with the relevant information so that their operation and use contaminate the work environment as little as possible and pose no health hazard during production, maintenance and other activities; all chemicals classified by their toxic, chemical, physical, corrosive, irritant, allergenic, sensitising, carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic and reproductive properties; containers marked for identity and labelled uniformly with legible, durable labels easily understood by workers, UN-system labelling sufficing
