Workplace Chemistry offers training, consulting and auditing services to assist Australian workplaces in achieving the safe handling and storage of hazardous chemicals and compliance to relevant State WHS/OHS legislation. We also offer chemical laboratory consulting. The company was established in 2015.
Our founder Rob Rowland holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Chemistry, a Cert IV in Workplace Training and Assessment, is a RABQSA Skilled Lead Auditor, is a Chartered Member of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and has 20 years experience in the chemical industry.
Many workplaces have hazardous chemicals present. Common hazardous chemicals include fuels, paints, cleaning agents, 2-part epoxies, pesticides, herbicides, acids and alkalis. The majority of Australian workplaces do not fully comprehend the hazards posed or the legal requirements regarding hazardous chemicals in the workplace.
Our goal is to assist your workplace with achieving its health, safety and environmental goals of zero harm.
In May 2018, Workplace Chemistry launched its first range of online training packages for Australian workplaces covering topics such as spill management and response, safe chemical storage and handling, the GHS, and the model WHS Regulations for hazardous chemicals.
