368 Duty to provide health monitoring
health monitoring is provided to a worker carrying out work for the
business or undertaking if:
(a) the worker is carrying out ongoing work at a workplace 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, column 2; or
(b) 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:
(i) valid techniques are available to detect the effect on the
worker's health; or
(ii) 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.
