WEL Dashboard — Your Transition Countdown Starts Here
Every chemical in your register mapped to the incoming WEL, with traffic light priority and a countdown to 1 December 2026.
Substance mapping
Every chemical in your register automatically checked against the WEL list. Current WES, incoming WEL, and % change displayed.
The dashboard pulls substances directly from your chemical register and cross-references each against the Safe Work Australia WEL list. For each substance, the current WES value, the incoming WEL value, the percentage change, and the effective date are displayed. Substances still under ministerial review are flagged separately.
Traffic light system
Green (no change or minor), amber (significant reduction), red (major reduction or NEW limit). Prioritise action on reds.
Red indicates a substance with a major reduction (greater than 50%) or a substance gaining a limit for the first time (NEW). Amber indicates a significant reduction (20-50%). Green indicates no change, minor change, or a substance not affected by the transition. The traffic light immediately prioritises where to focus assessment and control improvement efforts.
Countdown
Days until 1 December 2026 displayed prominently. Action items generated for each red/amber substance.
The dashboard displays the number of days until the WEL transition date. For each red and amber substance, the system generates action items: review exposure assessment data, evaluate current controls, commission monitoring if no baseline exists, and plan control improvements with lead times for procurement and installation.
What happens without WEL transition tracking
You have 47 chemicals in your workplace. You know the WEL transition is coming but you have not checked which substances are affected. On 1 December 2026, manganese drops 98%, nickel drops 99%, and flour dust gains a limit for the first time. Your existing controls were designed for limits that no longer exist. You have no baseline exposure data. You are non-compliant on day one with no plan to address it.
How It Works
Connect
Your chemical register feeds the dashboard automatically. Every substance is checked against the WEL list.
Prioritise
Traffic lights show which substances need attention first. Red substances generate immediate action items.
Track
Monitor progress on each action item. Countdown shows days remaining. Dashboard updates when ministerial decisions are confirmed.
Compliance Mapping
| Regulation | Section | Requirement | How This Module Meets It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safe Work Australia | WEL List 2025 | PCBUs must comply with workplace exposure limits for hazardous chemicals | Dashboard maps every chemical to the incoming WEL, identifying where current controls may be insufficient. |
| WHS Regulation 2025 | Chapter 7 | Exposure monitoring and control of hazardous chemicals | Action items for red-flagged substances include commissioning exposure monitoring to establish baseline data. |
| WHS Regulation 2025 | Part 7.1 Div 6 | Health monitoring for Schedule 14 substances | Substances requiring health monitoring are flagged with scheduling requirements linked to training management. |
