Safety limits set for chemical agents in the work place
A list of the recently determined EU-limits for workers' exposure to chemical agents is available from the Official Journal of the European Communities. The list, officially entitled 'indicative occupational exposure limit values' is published as part of an EU strategy to protect the health and safety of workers from the risks associated with chemical agents at work. The Member States are obliged to adopt measures to enforce this legislation by 31 December 2001 at the latest. The new regulations enter into force on 28 June 2000.
