Employers, help protect your employees and contractors from exposure to dangerous fumes or smoke by instituting this Odor Investigation Policy for your company.

The Policy outlines the investigative protocols to be undertaken in the event of an unusual or foul odor in the workplace, and contains an Evacuation and/or Work Stoppage Guide. This Guide differentiates between odor events which cause immediate effects, and those which cause minimal or no immediate effects, and sets out the procedure to be followed in each event.

This Odor Investigation Policy was developed by Lyall Hodgson, an OHS specialist, and is provided in MS Word format. Keep your workplace safe by keeping workers informed.
