Safe Work Australia will soon seek feedback on the proposed workplace exposure limits (WEL) for nine chemicals.

The consultation will seek feedback from stakeholders on the economic, social and health impacts of the chemicals on workers.

Submissions to this consultation will be used by Safe Work Australia to prepare an impact analysis report for Work health and safety (WHS) ministers to help them decide, for each of the nine chemicals, whether or not to implement the proposed exposure limit and the timeframe for implementation.

Consultation will open soon through Safe Work Australia’s Consultation Hub, where information can be found on each chemical.

The chemicals soon to be under review include:

```
benzene
```

2. chlorine

3. copper (fumes, dusts and mists)

4. formaldehyde

5. hydrogen cyanide

6. hydrogen sulphide

7. nitrogen dioxide

8. respirable crystalline silica

9. titanium dioxide.
