Exposure

The purpose of the exposure scheme element is to:

  • Ensure that workers are not exposed to chemicals to an extent which exceeds exposure limits or other exposure criteria for the evaluation and control of the working environment; and
  • Ensure that the records of the monitoring of the working environment and of the exposure of workers using hazardous chemicals are kept for a period prescribed by the competent authority and are accessible to the workers and their representatives.

The implementation can be done in two steps:

  1. Implement Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs)
  2. Implement requirement for monitoring substances
