From 1 December 2026, flour dust gets a tenfold tighter legal limit.
Most Australian cafés and small bakeries aren’t ready. This pack gets them there.
Nine editable compliance documents — risk assessment, WES-to-WEL transition register, task SOPs, worker training, health surveillance, and more — written by a Certified Industrial Hygienist and ready for inspection.
The change you can’t opt out of
Until 30 November 2026, flour dust is regulated under Australia’s generic “Particulates Not Otherwise Classified” category at 10 mg/m³ inhalable. Most small food business owners have never heard of it because it’s never been enforced as a flour-specific limit.
From 1 December 2026, that changes. Safe Work Australia’s 2025 review introduced a dedicated Workplace Exposure Limit for flour (cereal) dust at 0.5 mg/m³, harmonised across all states and territories. The new limit reflects the clinical reality: flour dust is one of the most common causes of occupational asthma in Australia. The disease is permanent, IgE-mediated, and forces affected workers out of the trade. It is also entirely preventable with proper controls.
What an inspector expects to see
This pack covers all six — and adds the worker symptom questionnaire, the inspection-readiness checklist, and the annual review template that close the audit loop.
Nine documents. One download. Built for inspection.
Buy it, fill in your business name, complete the variable fields, train your workers, and file it. The first inspection it survives pays it back several times over.
Hazardous Chemical Risk Assessment
Identifies and rates every flour-handling task. Pre-populated with typical small-business flour tasks (Café: 6 tasks; Bakery: 10 tasks) and a 5×5 risk matrix.
WES-to-WEL Transition Register
The document no other template seller has. Pre-populated transition actions with target dates. Designed to satisfy a WHS inspector that you've planned for the change.
Not available from any other template providerHierarchy of Controls Register
All five hierarchy levels covered, from elimination through to PPE. Control measures pre-populated and right-sized to your edition — not over-engineered.
Task SOPs
Café: 2 SOPs (packet handling/scaling/mixer loading + cleaning/spillage). Bakery: 5 SOPs (bag handling, sieving/scaling, mixer loading, equipment cleaning, spillage response).
Health Surveillance Pathway
Worker symptom questionnaire — the diagnostic gold standard for baker's asthma. Plus a GP referral letter template the worker hand-carries to their doctor.
Worker Training Pack
15-minute toolbox talk script written for read-aloud delivery by a non-specialist. Plus a 6-question comprehension quiz with answer key, plus a training sign-off register.
Inspection Readiness Checklist
The document you pull out when a SafeWork inspector walks through the door. Five-minute pre-inspection walk included.
Air Monitoring Decision Tree
Tells you whether you need to engage an occupational hygienist for air monitoring — or whether documented controls are sufficient. The CIH-endorsed differentiator.
CIH-endorsedAnnual Review Template
Closes the loop. Forces a documented annual check that the entire pack is current.
Why this pack and not a generic compliance template
There are dozens of WHS template providers in Australia. Almost none have updated their content for the 1 December 2026 transition. Almost none carry CIH endorsement. None include a WES-to-WEL Transition Register.

Frequently asked questions
1 December 2026 isn’t a problem you can fix overnight.
Documenting nine compliance artefacts, training your workers, reviewing your controls, and deciding on monitoring takes weeks. Most cafés and small bakeries that wait until November 2026 will spend the transition under inspection pressure.
This pack is the difference between those two outcomes.
All prices AUD, GST exclusive. Instant download. Single-site licence. 12 months of regulatory updates included.
Looking for Psychosocial Safety Packs? →This pack provides documentation tools to support due diligence. It does not certify compliance with the WEL. Compliance with airborne contaminant exposure limits can only be verified through site-specific air monitoring. See full Disclaimer & Terms of Use within each downloaded document.
