Model Code of Practice: Managing noise and preventing hearing loss at work.
Model Code of Practice: Managing risks of respirable crystalline silica in the workplace. Use the adopted or approved version applying in the jurisdiction; silica controls should follow the hierarchy of control and not rely on PPE alone.
Guidance standards: AS/NZS 1576 Scaffolding series, AS 4576 Guidelines for scaffolding, AS/NZS 1891 Industrial fall-arrest systems, AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716 Respiratory protective equipment, AS/NZS 60335.2.69 Class H vacuum cleaners, AS/NZS 1337.1 Eye and face protection, AS/NZS 2210.3 Safety footwear, AS/NZS 1270 Hearing protectors and AS/NZS 1801 Occupational protective helmets.
Respirable crystalline silica exposure must be prevented from exceeding the applicable workplace exposure standard; the cited silica guidance identifies 0.05 mg/m³ as an 8-hour TWA and notes that lower exposure should be targeted.
