On the website a guidance document on preventing wood dust exposure is provided as well as several videos explaining good practice in exposure prevention, e.g. regarding exhaust ventilation of different tools and machinery or cleaning of workplaces.
The document helps car repair shop managers to reduce exposure to dangerous substances by inhalation. It helps to assess the health risks posed by chemical substances (solvents, exhaust and welding fumes, etc.) and to verify measures taken, and it provides advice on prevention.
The leaflets provides an overview of the labelling system resulting from the EU CLP (classification, labelling and packaging) regulation.
The document aims to help, as part of the risk assessment process, localise and identify any chemical agent or process at the workplace that may pose a carcinogenic risk. It emphasises that substitution is the preferred method of tackling such exposures.
The leaflet provides guidance on managing the installation of exhaust ventillation in a dental laboratory.
In the section "repair and vehilces", several documents include guidance on skin and lung protection in repair shops that is directly aimed to support workers. These concern: protection of the hands and lungs for panel beater, sheet metal worker, painter and protection of the hands and lungs for mechanics.
The guide helps the reader to identify an appropriate particulate filter for a construction engine whose exhaust fume contains nanoparticles and nitrogen oxides. These materials have negative effects on respiratory health.
The 45-page guide presents the health risks of exposure to hexavalent chromium, the processes in which this substance is used and the possible substitutes thereof. It also provides advice on reducing the exposure levels if substitution is not possible, and it gives an overview of the measurement and health surveillance issues.
The technical document provides advice on minimising the exposure of healthcare workers to anaesthetic gases in operating theatres or postoperative units. It provides information on occupational exposure limit values, methods for assessing risks and informs about applicable legislation.
