The Working Environment Council's document describes options to prevent exposure to expoxy and isocyanates, considering the hierarchy of measures and taking account of the workplace situation and the implemented tasks. The document does not contain any specific details about the measures.
In 2016, the Working Environment Council sent its recommendations on prevention regarding work involving epoxy and isocyanates to the Minister for Employment.
The website provides information about what PCBs are and what health effects they may cause. It explains where they could occur (check list) and lists the employers' duties to protect workers.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of closely related chemicals that can be harmful to health. In Denmark, they were used in construction between 1955 and 1977. You can neither see nor smell PCBs, but if a building was constructed or renovated in the period 1955-1977 and there are visible sealants of the elastic type, one should be on guard.
This guideline is aimed at supporting workers maintaining sewers with epoxy and urethane. It describes the risks and the prevention measures.
In sewer coating, the work must be organized as safely as possible. In particular, both direct and surface chemical contact must be prevented. Personal protective equipment must be used at work. In addition to chemicals, there are also other dangerous factors at work, the significance of which for safety must be assessed and managed.
This booklet provides information for employers and workers about working with fertilisers safely. It explains, in a simple way with little text and many pictures, how to safely handle fertilisers. It focuses on the application of fertilisers, the storage of fertilisers and protective equipment.
This publication describes a method proposed by the Dutch independent research organisation TNO, namely Stoffenmanager Nano (version 1.0). This method is a risk-banding tool developed for employers and workers to help them to prioritise the health risks occurring as a result of exposure to manufactured nano objects. It considers a broad range of worker scenarios. The tool also assists in the implementation of control measures to reduce exposure levels.
The website contains several sections with information and tools needed for risk assessments and risk management at the workplaces. The website provides links to several tools that can support the risks assessment. It also refers to legal sources, including the UNE-EN 689 Standard on Workplace Atmospheres.
The website provides access to classification and labelling information, including a leaflet on pictograms as well as the legal test of the regulation. It also gives access to a tool called CLPplay that can be used to put into practice knowledge on European CLP Regulation 1272/2008.
This database provides information on different degreasing processes, including the solutions and chemical substances used and their toxicological characteristics.
The database contains the occupational exposure limits for chemical agents in Spain; it was adopted by the National Institute for Safety and Health at Work (INSHT - now INSST) after its approval by the National Commission on Safety and Health at Work. The database can be searched by CAS number or by the name of the agent, using either the complete name or part of it. In addition to occupational limit values, the database provides information on environmental and biological limit values and toxicological data on how the values were derived.
The database INFOCARQUIM is a tool that provides information on the following topics:
