The Latex Risk Assessment is a mandatory health and safety document required under Irish legislation for workplaces where latex exposure poses potential risks to employees. This document becomes necessary when latex products are used in regular operations or where employees may be exposed to latex particles or residues. The assessment must comply with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and related Irish regulations, particularly those concerning chemical agents and occupational health. It should be updated regularly, especially when processes change or new risks are identified. The document serves as both a legal compliance tool and a practical guide for managing latex-related risks, incorporating specific control measures, emergency procedures, and health surveillance requirements.
