Supporting enterprises in the implementation of statutory obligations related to occupational health and safety
Journal Title: Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy - Year 2016, Vol 32, Issue 3
Abstract
This article presents rules for determining the occupational limit values (OELs) and intensities of agents harmful to health occurring in the workplace as the basic criteria for providing safe and healthy working conditions in Poland and in the European Union. The role of the Interdepartmental Commission for Maximum Admissible Concentrations and Intensities for Agents Harmful to Health in the Working Environment in this process is also presented in the article. Attention was drawn to links between legal provisions concerning occupational health and safety, and regulations on chemicals (REACH, CLP), which together provide necessary data and tools to employers and the Member States allowing safe work with chemicals and taking appropriate action and risk management measures.
