Performance Measurement Framework

NICNAS contributes to the safe use of chemicals by providing information
to its stakeholders on the hazards and risks posed by chemicals to workers,
the community and the environment. This information is in the form of high
quality scientific assessments of risks posed from the import, manufacture,
handling, use, storage and disposal of chemicals. Importantly, the
assessments recommend ways of addressing these risks.

The key NICNAS output is effective, accessible and reliable scientific
information for other chemical control frameworks, workers, industry
and other interested parties to implement controls as required to ensure
safe use of chemicals. To ensure this, the Scheme also contributes outputs
in the areas of compliance, customer service, community engagement,
education and awareness-raising activities.

Output performance measures as they relate to all Scheme activities
are summarised in Table 4 and are reported against performance targets
in this section of the report.
