About this document
Waterproofing membranes are chemistry. Polyurethane and polyurea systems contain isocyanates; epoxy systems use reactive resins and amine hardeners; primers carry solvents such as xylene, toluene and MEK; and bituminous products release fume when hot-applied. Each of these is a hazardous chemical with duties under Chapter 7 of the WHS Regulation, and a generic 'wear PPE' line does not discharge them.
This risk assessment works through the membrane products actually used on a job, using the current Safety Data Sheet for each. It classifies the hazards, identifies the exposure routes, and sets controls in hierarchy order — from eliminating spraying in favour of brush or roller, through ventilation and local exhaust, to correctly selected respiratory protection. It links to the duties that follow, including mandatory isocyanate health monitoring and the crystalline-silica controls for substrate preparation, and records the workplace exposure standards so airborne exposure can be checked on site.
