| Resumen |
These Regulations amend the original 1988 Regulations (see CIS 89-1092) and they implement as respects Great Britain Council Directive 90/394/EEC (CIS 90-1758) on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens at work (except for provisions relating to asbestos). The Regulations provide a definition of carcinogens, and require: appropriate preventive and control measures in workplaces where carcinogens are present; regular reviews of carcinogenicity assessments; the keeping of health records for 40yrs. In the schedules: a new list of maximum exposure limits (new long-term 8h TWA limit for bis(chloromethyl) ether: 0.001ppm = 0.005mg/m3; modified exposure limit for benzene: 5ppm = 16mg/m3); a new list of substances and processes to which the definition of "carcinogen" relates. |
