Chemical Hazards in the Working Environment

Risk assessment using KLARA

All risks related to chemical use must be investigated in a risk assessment. This assessment must be completed prior to beginning work with the chemical (§ 5). KLARA has a risk assessment module that provides an outline for risk assessment of work with chemicals.

Risk assessments can be completed digitally in KLARA and saved in a folder specific to your division. Contact the school's KLARA administrator or central KLARA administrator to obtain access to KLARA. The risk assessments must be signed by the employer and be available to the employees concerned.

Labelling requirements for chemical substances

Containers containing dangerous chemical products must be marked with the product's name, hazard pictogram and text in certain cases (carcinogenic, allergenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction). New labels can be printed in KLARA if the label on the original container has become illegible.
