Risk assessments for airborne contaminants

As a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) you must eliminate or minimise risks from airborne contaminants in the workplace so far as is reasonably practicable. You must also ensure that workers or others at the workplace are not exposed to levels of airborne contaminants above their workplace exposure limit.

This fact sheet provides PCBUs with practical steps to assess and manage the risks of airborne contaminants in the workplace.
