Chemical Management

Image of chemicals in beakersIntroduction

Chemicals are in use in offices, laboratories and workshops throughout the University.

Laboratories and workshops especially may use, handle and store an enormous variety of chemicals, some of which can affect people's health and cause damage to property or the environment. Equally, however, offices may use chemicals such as glues, printing agents and cleaning agents, which also present a certain level of risk.

Some of the compliance requirements for chemical management can be quite complex. The Chemical Management Procedure and associated guidance material aims to provide simple, directive guidance on how to achieve compliance in regard to chemical management at the University of Melbourne.
