USE OF CHEMICALS AT THE WORKPLACE


The use of chemicals at the workplace is of concern to all; the government, employers and employees, as they may pose hazardous to health in a number of ways. They may cause fires and explosion, adverse health effects and/or damage to the environment.

The term use of chemicals hazardous to health has been used to mean the ‘production, handling, storage, transport, disposal and treatment of any chemicals that have the potential to cause adverse health effects’. Adverse health effects refer to effects that cause changes in the morphology, growth, development or life span of an organism and which results in the impairment of the functional capacity or ability of the organism to maintain homeostasis or those that do not enchance susceptibility to deleterious effects of other environmental factors. In short, the spectrum of adverse health effects range from discomfort or irritation at one end to death at the other.

The risk of fire and explosion has somewhat been addressed by certain legislations such as the OSH Act, while environmental protection comes under the purview of the Department of Environment. However, there is currently no specific legislation to control the use of hazardous chemicals at any place of work to ensure that the users, mainly industrial workers and the self-employed, are not adversely affected.

The OSH Act 1994 provide for the protection of employees handling hazardous chemicals in a general way. Section 15 of the OSH Act stipulated the general duties of employers and self-employed persons to ensure the safety, health and welfare of employees at the workplace. This duty includes making arrangements for ensuring safety as well as absence of health hazards and risks in connection with the use, operation, handling, storage and transport of hazardous substances.

These arrangements are general in nature and therefore require further elaboration and clarification by a more specific regulation on chemicals that will lay down the principles and practices to safeguard the health and safety of workers dealing with chemical substances. Hence, a set of regulations was promulgated under section 66 of the OSH Act solely addressing the issue of safety and health in the use and handling of chemicals that are hazardous to health at the workplace. This legislation is called the Occupational Safety and Health (Use and Standard of Exposure of Chemicals Hazardous to Health) Regulations 2000 or in short, OSH-USECHH Regulations.

APPLICTION

The OSH-USECHH Regulations is applicable to all places of work within the purview of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 where chemicals hazardous to health are used. These include work in the following economic sectors:-

e) Utilities;
f) Transport, storage and communication;
g) Wholesale and retail trade;
h) Hotels and restaurants;
i) Finance, insurance, real estate and business services; and

a) Radioactive materials;
b) Foodstuff;
c) Pharmaceutical products; or
d) hazardous to health solely by virtue of their explosive or flammable properties, or solely because they are at a high temperature or pressure (e.g. water).


SALIENT PROVISIONS

Among the salient provisions of the Regulations are:

a) Identification of hazardous chemicals at the workplace and the establishment and maintenance of a chemical register;
b) Compliance with permissible exposure limits;
c) Chemical health risk assessment for employees;
d) Introduction of appropriate measures to prevent or control significant health risks;
e) Ensuring the use and maintenance of control measures and procedures;

How to Spot Scams!



Minimise the risk of losing your savings to scams by recognising the different types of illegal investment schemes that are plaguing our society. Here are some typical characteristics and promises made by scams:


-For every investment that you make, you will receive a high return, for instance, 20-30% per month, every month.


-You are not shown the so-called quality product you are allegedly selling, but you will get paid for every person you recruit or sign up.


-You are told that the offer is for a limited time and that you MUST join or buy today.


-You are told to send money to some foreign banks in foreign currency to claim a prize but you do not remember entering into any contest or lucky draws.


-You receive unsolicited phone calls offering investment opportunities and you have no idea how the company has obtained your phone number.


-You receive unsolicited e-mails asking you for your bank account number because they want to send you money, usually millions of US dollars, from some foreign countries. This is, strictly speaking, not an investment scam, but is still a scam, and a popular one.


-You are offered an investment product that guarantees large profits with no financial risk.


-You are asked to invest in an investment scheme. The address and contact information of the investment company offering you big money is located in a foreign country where you cannot verify its physical location.


-You are offered a “free gift” in order to get something later, for example, a larger amount of money.


-You are offered job opportunities with high pay without any need for relevant experience or academic qualifications.


-You are approached by someone who claims to be an agent for foreign trading houses (e.g. based in Macau, Bahamas, British Virgin islands etc) to trade in foreign indices (e.g. Hang Seng index), commodities (e.g. coffee) or forex (e.g. US$, Yen etc) but you need to deposit some money as a “margin” in some foreign currency before a trade can be executed.


It is hard to find any information about the company’s licence or physical existence in any regulator or authority’s website.
If you are faced with any of the above situation, what should you do to protect yourself?
