and the limitations of the PPE
    * any health monitoring which may be required and the worker's rights and obligations
    * the labelling of containers of hazardous chemicals, the information that each part of the label provides and why the information is being provided
    * the availability of SDS for all hazardous chemicals, how to access the SDS, and the information that each part of the SDS provides
    * the work practices and procedures to be followed in the use, handling, processing, storage, transportation, cleaning up and disposal of hazardous chemicals.
Information, training and instruction must be provided in such a way that it is easily understood. The amount of detail and extent of training will depend on the nature of the hazards and the complexity of the work procedures and control measures required to minimise the risks.
Records of training provided to workers should be kept, documenting who was trained, when
and on what.

5. MONITORING AND REVIEW

5.1 Health monitoring

Regulation 368: A person conducting a business or undertaking must ensure health monitoring is provided to a worker carrying out work for the business or undertaking if:
    * the worker is carrying out ongoing work using, handling generating or storing hazardous chemicals and there is a significant risk to the worker's health because of exposure to a hazardous chemical referred to in Schedule 14, table 14.1
    * the person identifies that because of ongoing work carried out by a worker using, handling generating or storing hazardous chemicals there is a significant risk that the worker will be exposed to a hazardous chemical (other than a hazardous chemical referred to in Schedule 14, table 14.1) and either valid techniques are available to detect the effect on the worker's health or a valid way of determining biological exposure to the hazardous chemical is available and it is uncertain, on reasonable grounds whether the exposure to the hazardous chemical has resulted in the biological exposure standard being exceeded.
Health monitoring of a person means monitoring the person to identify changes in the person's health status because of exposure to certain substances. It involves the collection of data in order to evaluate the effects of exposure and to confirm that the absorbed dose is within safe levels.
This allows decisions to be made about implementing ways to eliminate or minimise the worker's risk of exposure, for example, reassigning to other duties that involve less exposure or improving control measures.
Schedule 14, table 14.1 (reproduced at Appendix E of this Code) includes the type of health monitoring that must be carried out for each hazardous chemical listed, unless:
    * an equal or better type of health monitoring is available
    * the use of
