This section applies in relation to a worker at a mine on the commencement if— the worker carries out work in a lead process at the mine; and health surveillance was provided for the worker, before the commencement, under a blood lead exposure monitoring program for the mine. Schedule 2E, section 21 does not apply in relation to the worker. However, biological monitoring of the worker after the commencement must be arranged under schedule 2E, section 22. For subsection (3), the first biological monitoring of the worker under schedule 2E, section 22 must be carried out on or before the due date for the next biological monitoring of the worker under the blood lead exposure monitoring program for the mine. In this section— blood lead exposure monitoring program , for a mine, means a program for health surveillance of workers carrying out lead risk jobs at the mine adopted in accordance with section 15 of the inorganic lead standard. inorganic lead standard means the document declared by NOHSC called ‘National Standard for the Control of Inorganic Lead at Work [NOHSC:1012(1994)]’. s 182 ins 2023 SL No. 71 s 14 (sec.182-ssec.1) This section applies in relation to a worker at a mine on the commencement if— the worker carries out work in a lead process at the mine; and health surveillance was provided for the worker, before the commencement, under a blood lead exposure monitoring program for the mine.
