Thanks, Sue. As for getting my head around it all, Rosalie .....
I talked again at length to someone from Regional Office on Monday, saying 'Having been given this rare time and opportunity, I've just got to make the most of it to learn as much as possible, so that it can be passed on for everyone's benefit" - then panicked afterwards thinking
What on earth have I got myself into! and
Can I do this?
So after much thinking, and some time attempting to correlate past posts to show and discuss with those in the Dept. (whom I hope will mentor me through this process), I’ve realised it might be much easier to ask you all for help, PLEASE!
If you are NSW DET and have, or have in the past, had questions relating to chemical safety, MSDS, stocktake, labelling, codes, etc. would you be so kind as to post them for me, please. However, even if you are not from NSW, or at a Govt school, post anyway. Just remember, I’m not guaranteeing we’ll get answers - I am simply determined to use this opportunity while it’s timely!
My part in the process is solely the chemical storage, but perhaps as this is so topical, it might be worth thinking about creating another stream to list other OHS questions - so that we are ready when the opportunity arises to ask them, too.
I will also use this same post again to create a new topic. If you come up with a better heading/topic title, we can change it.
Many thanks in advance for your help and support, everyone.
