Hazardous Substances (Data and Communications)
Storage, handling and use of cable lubricants, solvents, fibre cleaning chemicals and UPS battery electrolyte during data & communications work.
Objective
Complete the work safely by controlling skin and eye contact, inhalation, battery acid burns and asbestos awareness through SDS controls, ventilation, gloves and a do-not-disturb rule for suspect materials.
This is the Data and Communications version. The hazards and controls are written around data and communications work, so it differs from the other 51 trade versions of Hazardous Substances. Compare all 52.
Built by WHS professionals, written for your state
Every document is built by WHS professionals. Each state version references the Act, regulator, and requirements for the state you select. Victoria gets the OHS Act and WorkSafe Victoria, NSW gets the WHS Act and SafeWork NSW.
