From 1 December 2026, flour dust gets a tenfold tighter legal limit.
Most Australian cafés and small bakeries aren’t ready. These documents get them there.
Nine editable compliance documents — risk assessment, WES-to-WEL transition register, task SOPs, worker training, health surveillance, and more — written by a Certified Industrial Hygienist and ready for inspection. Buy only what you need, or take the full pack at 15% off.
Start with what you need
Not every site needs the full set. Every document is sold individually — same instant download, same editable Word format, same single-site licence. Buy one, buy three, or buy all nine. The 15% bundle discount applies only when all nine are purchased together.
WES-to-WEL Transition Register
The document no other template seller has. 17 pre-populated transition actions with target dates, designed to satisfy a WHS inspector that you’ve planned for the change.
Air Monitoring Decision Tree
Tells you whether you need to engage an occupational hygienist for air monitoring — or whether documented controls are sufficient. The CIH-endorsed differentiator, based on EN 689:2018 logic.
Hazardous Chemical Risk Assessment
Identifies and rates every flour-handling task. Pre-populated with typical small-business flour tasks (Café: 6 tasks; Bakery: 10 tasks) and a 5×5 risk matrix.

Buying four or more documents? The full pack costs less. Both editions include all nine documents — the difference is depth.
For cafés and small kitchens where flour handling is incidental. Brunch cafés, sandwich shops, cafés with in-house pastry, occasional pizza and dough work.
- ✓All 9 documents
- ✓2 task SOPs
- ✓Trimmed risk register
- ✓Single-site licence
- ✓Instant download

For small bakeries where flour handling is core to the daily operation. Neighbourhood bakeries, micro-bakeries, patisseries, sourdough and artisan bread shops.
- ✓All 9 documents
- ✓5 task SOPs
- ✓Full 10-task risk register
- ✓Single-site licence
- ✓Instant download

Both editions are identical in structure. The Bakery Edition includes five task SOPs and a fully populated 10-task risk register; the Café Edition trims this to two SOPs and a focused risk register for sites where flour handling is incidental.
The change you can’t opt out of
Until 30 November 2026, flour dust is regulated under Australia’s generic “Particulates Not Otherwise Classified” category at 10 mg/m³ inhalable. Most small food business owners have never heard of it because it’s never been enforced as a flour-specific limit.
From 1 December 2026, that changes. Safe Work Australia’s 2025 review introduced a dedicated Workplace Exposure Limit for flour (cereal) dust at 0.5 mg/m³, harmonised across all states and territories. The new limit reflects the clinical reality: flour dust is one of the most common causes of occupational asthma in Australia. The disease is permanent, IgE-mediated, and forces affected workers out of the trade. It is also entirely preventable with proper controls.
- ✓A documented risk assessment specific to flour dust
- ✓Evidence the hierarchy of controls has been applied
- ✓Task-specific Standard Operating Procedures
- ✓A worker training register with sign-offs
- ✓A documented plan for the WES-to-WEL transition
- ✓A defensible decision on whether air monitoring is required
The full pack covers all six — and adds the worker symptom questionnaire, the inspection-readiness checklist, and the annual review template that close the audit loop. Or buy just the documents that fill your gaps.

Why these documents and not a generic compliance template
There are dozens of WHS template providers in Australia. Almost none have updated their content for the 1 December 2026 transition. Almost none carry CIH endorsement. None include a WES-to-WEL Transition Register.
Frequently asked questions
1 December 2026 isn’t a problem you can fix overnight.
Documenting nine compliance artefacts, training your workers, reviewing your controls, and deciding on monitoring takes weeks. Most cafés and small bakeries that wait until November 2026 will spend the transition under inspection pressure.
