that may create new or different risks that the control measure cannot effectively control
    * a new relevant hazard or risk is identified
    * the results of consultation indicate that a review is necessary
    * a health and safety representative requests a review if that person reasonably believes that:
          + a circumstance in any of the above points affects or may affect the group represented by the health and safety representative
          + the control measure has not been adequately reviewed in response to the circumstance
    * if an SDS or register of hazardous chemicals is changed
    * if a health monitoring report for a worker contains:
          + test results that the worker has been exposed to a hazardous chemical and has
            an elevated level of the chemical or metabolites for that hazardous chemical in
            their body
          + any advice that test results indicate the worker may have contracted a disease, injury or illness as a result of carrying out the work that triggered the need for health monitoring
          + any recommendation that remedial measures be taken, including whether the worker can continue to carry out the type of work that triggered the requirement
            for health monitoring
    * if atmospheric monitoring indicates that the airborne concentration of a hazardous chemical at the workplace exceeds the relevant exposure standard
    * at least once every 5 years.
A change at the workplace includes:
    * a change to the workplace itself or any aspect of the work environment
    * a change to a system of work, a process or a procedure.
When reviewing the control measures, consultation must occur with workers and their health
and safety representatives. The following questions should be considered when undertaking
the review:
    * Are the control measures working effectively in both their design and operation?
    * Have the control measures introduced new problems?
    * Have all hazards been identified?
    * Have new work methods, new equipment or chemicals made the job safer?
    * Are safety procedures being followed?
    * Has instruction and training provided to workers on how to work safely been successful?
    * Are workers actively involved in identifying hazards and possible control measures?
      Are they openly raising health and safety concerns and reporting problems promptly?
    * Are the frequency and severity of health and safety incidents reducing over time?
    * If new legislation or new information becomes available, does it indicate current controls may no longer be the most effective?

6. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Regardless of controls put in place to prevent incidents occurring in your workplace, they can
still occur. For example, people can be exposed to chemicals and require immediate medical treatment, a fire can start or a loss of containment can occur. It is therefore
