319M Crystalline silica hazard control statement to be reviewed and revised
An employer or a self-employed person performing high risk crystalline silica work must review and, if necessary, revise the crystalline silica hazard control statement required under regulation 319L for that work—
(a) whenever the work changes; or
(b) if there is an indication that risk control measures (including risk control measures required under regulation 163) are not controlling the risks adequately, including after any incident that occurs during high risk crystalline silica work.
2 Regulation 163 sets out the duty of an employer to control risks associated with silica dust produced or generated at a workplace. See also regulation 154.
