Dyer, C.

Easier COSHH compliance - 2003 - Health and Safety Bulletin (323) November 2003, 17-18(2) .

Reviews Health and Safety Commission plans to link exposure limits and control measures within the COSHH regime. The plans will make major changes to the regime that controls workers' exposure to chemicals so that it will be easier for firms to comply with their legal duties. Propositions include a single type of occupational exposure limit to be called a Workplace Explosure Limit, an emphasis on applying good practice and the provision of advice on control measures. Tables provide comparisons of the old and proposed new system.
