18. DANGEROUS GOODS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES (SP:01)

HB recognizes its responsibilities regarding dangerous and hazardous substances and the need to ensure that
all chemicals used on this project have been registered. This ensures they are appropriate to the tasks for
which they are required, the safest available product, and to ensure that where an element of risk is present
measures are taken to control that risk.
Further information relating to the handling / storage / training and disposal of dangerous goods and
hazardous substances on HB sites can be located in SP:01 Hazardous Substances, Dangerous Goods and lead.
It is necessary to keep appropriate copies of this information where the chemicals are stored or used. The
Dangerous Goods & Hazardous Substances Inventory should be completed at each site or work location.
