sec.145I Identifying lead risk jobs

A site senior executive for a mine must assess each lead process carried out at the mine to determine if a lead risk job is carried out in the process. In assessing a lead process, the site senior executive must have regard to the following— past biological monitoring results of workers; airborne lead levels; the form of lead used; the tasks and processes required to be undertaken with lead; the likely duration and frequency of exposure to lead; possible routes of exposure to lead; any information about incidents, injuries or illnesses in relation to the use of lead at the mine. In assessing a lead process, the site senior executive must not have regard to the effect of using personal protective equipment on the safety and health of workers at the mine. If the site senior executive is unable to determine whether a lead risk job is carried out in a lead process at the mine, the process is taken to include a lead risk job until the site senior executive determines that a lead risk job is not carried out in the process. s 145I ins 2020 SL No. 108 s 12 sub 2023 SL No. 71 s 12 (sec.145I-ssec.1) A site senior executive for a mine must assess each lead process carried out at the mine to determine if a lead risk job is carried out in the process.
