Praktični alati i upute o opasnim tvarima
Države članice, europske institucije, poslovne udruge, socijalni partneri i drugi sudionici oblikovali su brojne alate i dokumente sa smjernicama koje mogu poslužiti kao pomoć poduzećima u provedbi opsežne i učinkovite procjene rizika. Ti alati predstavljaju širok raspon pristupa učinkovitom upravljanju opasnim tvarima. Često pokrivaju određene radne zadatke, kao što su punjenje i crpljenje tekućina ili zavarivanje. U drugim se izvorima nalazi detaljan pregled određenih skupina tvari, kao što su tvari koje izazivaju preosjetljivost, ili tipičnih rizika u određenim sektorima.
Osim što su korisni za kvalitetnu procjenu rizika, većina alata usto uključuje i dobra praktična rješenja uz objašnjenja o tome kako smanjiti rizike tijekom uobičajenih radnih situacija, uključujući izloženost opasnim tvarima. Neki alati posebno su oblikovani za određene sudionike, kao što su, među mnogim drugima, inspektori rada, mala i srednja poduzeća te predstavnici radnika. Itekako se isplati istražiti stranicu i saznati kakva se pomoć nudi.

Laboratory work
This video shows that exposure to dusts, including to respirable crystalline silica dust can be significantly reduced for laboratory workers, if the local local exhaust ventilation systems are used at appropriate, i.e. not minimum, veolocity.
The video is available in several EU languages; access via...
