The Latex Risk Assessment Template has been developed to assist Australian organizations in meeting their obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and related regulations. This document is essential for workplaces where latex products are used or where workers may be exposed to latex allergens. The template provides a systematic approach to identifying potential latex hazards, assessing associated risks, and implementing appropriate control measures. It is particularly crucial given the increasing recognition of latex allergies and sensitivities in workplace settings. The document includes comprehensive sections on risk evaluation, control measures, and monitoring protocols, aligned with Australian WHS requirements and industry best practices. It should be used as part of an organization's broader risk management strategy and updated regularly to reflect changes in workplace conditions or regulatory requirements.
