Critical Control Check: Hazardous Chemicals
by Gerald Visagie, from the Community
Use this checklist to verify critical controls for hazardous chemicals in mining operations. It guides teams to confirm worker competency and authorization, awareness of hazards, and access to Safety Data Sheets. It checks correct PPE selection, chemical identification and labeling, container compatibility, and safe transfer areas. It covers delivery validation, storage and segregation per SDS, and clear identification of pipes and distribution systems. The checklist reinforces controlled access, signage, exclusion zones, evacuation procedures, alarm response, and immediate first aid actions such as eyewash or shower times. Designed to help stop work when controls are ineffective and prompt reassessment by a competent person.
