From March 2025 the
Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011 (Cth) have been amended to increase protections for workers exposed to lead in the
Commonwealth jurisdiction.
The changes include:
• reducing blood lead levels at which health monitoring is triggered
• increasing the frequency of biological monitoring
• reducing the blood lead levels for removal of workers from lead risk work and returning to work
• reducing the workplace exposure standard for lead from 0.15mg/m3 to 0.05mg/m3.
Work is underway to assess any changes that need to occur in light of these updates.
