Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH)

A person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) has a duty to manage the risks to health and safety when employees are potentially exposed to PAH. PCBU must ensure that employees exposure to PAH is below the exposure standards set by Work Safe Australia and as low as reasonably practicable.

Air monitoring should be conducted if there is a risk to a worker’s health. Ongoing health monitoring may be required.
