Carcinogens

Some chemicals are carcinogens with labels to identify that they can cause cancer. Others are generated or made at the workplace, for example, from burning fuel or cutting timber. 

If there are carcinogens in your workplace, as the PCBU, you must manage the risks associated with them. 

The interactive safe work method statement (SWMS) tool provides information on preparing, using and reviewing SWMS for high risk construction work.
