| Abstract |
This document contains three Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs) related to the Control of Substances to Health Regulations 1994 (COSHH) (see CIS 95-19). The General ACOP includes the text of COSHH and guidance on compliance: responsibilities; assessment of health risks; prevention or control of exposure; maintenance, examination and test of control measures; monitoring exposure; health surveillance; personnel training. It includes special provisions relating to biological agents resulting from the requirement to implement Directive 90/679/EEC (Protection of Workers from Risks Related to Exposure to Biological Agents at Work). The Carcinogens ACOP and the Biological Agents ACOP provide supplementary practical guidance on work with these substances. |
