About Hazardous Chemical Audit
A quality hazardous chemicals audit covering safe handling, storage, labelling and disposal of hazardous chemicals help create a safe and reliable workplace environment. Routine assessment and assurance of a hazardous chemical management program or system are critical for businesses which inherently purchase, use, dispose of and the storage of hazardous chemicals. The main challenge is for clients to interpret and incorporate the complex framework of International and Australian Standards into the business’s safety management system.Hazardous Chemicals Audit Services we provide

With experience comes confidence
GCG’s auditing approach is focussed on working with clients to understand the position, situation and history behind the client’s business. GCG strives to drive improvement and change the right way through our technical knowledge in hazardous chemical management accumulated over the years. GCG’s Consultants bring a unique mix to this service by having experience in chemistry, safety management systems and occupational hygiene. Our occupational hygiene platform allows us to understand true chemical risk from the position of both acute and chronic exposure. In many cases, our understanding of the health risk allows us to practically reduce the controls currently on site for some hazardous chemicals. Did you know?
