The Dust Risk Assessment Template has been developed to assist Australian organizations in meeting their obligations under Work Health and Safety legislation regarding the management of dust-related hazards in the workplace. This document should be used whenever there is a need to assess and control exposure to various types of dust in work environments, including but not limited to respirable crystalline silica, wood dust, metal dust, and other airborne particulates. The template incorporates requirements from relevant Australian standards and Safe Work Australia guidelines, providing a systematic approach to risk assessment, control measure implementation, and ongoing monitoring. It is designed to be adaptable across different industries while maintaining compliance with jurisdictional requirements.
