This SOP applies only to the spills of liquid and solid chemical spills in a chemistry laboratory environment. Spills of microbiological agents are outside the scope of this SOP.
EHS-115 Process SafetyThe purpose of this procedure is to ensure that hazards which have the potential to cause acute catastrophic events, such as accidental chemical releases, fires and explosions are identified, assessed and adequately controlled.
EHS-120 Industrial Hygiene SamplingThis SOP is to provide guidance on a uniform methodology for workplace sampling of personal exposures and engineering performance validation. A sampling strategy should be developed prior to performing sampling. The objective and duration of the survey should be defined in conjunction with line management before sampling commences.
EHS-125 Selection of Personal Protective Equipments (PPE)This SOP details the selection of Personal Protective Equipment for a GMP site. Assessment of Risks will be assessed in all work areas and for all tasks to identify the requirements for PPE. All personal protective equipment will be worn as directed and will comply with the relevant Australian Standards.
EHS-130 Environmental Health and Safety Risk Assessment MethodologyIn a GMP environment a risk-based approach has to be used to evaluate the hazards and controls used to mitigate them. Hence it is essential for Risk assessments to be performed to ensure that all hazards in a plant are identified and are controlled if the risk associated with them is unacceptable. To evaluate and control all risks, Risk Assessment Process has been developed and widely accepted by the industry.
