Safe Work Australia has released a stakeholder pack to help workplaces prepare for new workplace exposure limits (WELs) for airborne contaminants.
WHS ministers agreed to the new WEL list in April 2024. The updated limits will take effect on 1 December 2026.
The pack is designed for WHS regulators, occupational hygienists, WHS professionals, unions, industry bodies and employers. It includes key messages and ready-to-use resources to raise awareness and support preparations for the change.
The stakeholder pack is available to download from Safe Work Australia’s airborne contaminants hub.
