Nearly one third of all occupational diseases recognised annually
in the EU are related to exposure to chemical substances and it is
widely accepted that this represents only a small fraction of the
full extent of harm caused by occupational exposure to hazardous
substances. The European chemical industry is the largest in the
world but it is by no means the only source of occupational
exposure to chemical hazards, because chemical products are both
used and are bi-products in many diverse forms of work. This book is a study of strategic approaches to managing the
risks of working with hazardous substances in Europe. Its central
theme concerns the widening gap between debates and developments at
national and international levels concerning safety in the use of
chemical substances at work in the European Union and practices
within workplaces The subject is particularly topical in the light of emerging strategies on chemical risks at EU level, the future impact of REACH and the significant changes that are occurring in legislative approaches to setting and using exposure limits at national levels in most EU countries. The continuing expansion of the Community to include a range of new member states, with chemical health and safety systems that are considerably less sophisticated than those presently found in northern European member states, makes the book especiallytimely. It deals with a subject that is a core concern of national and EU level policy makers, regulators, OHS practitioners, employers and trade unions alike. The Authors David Walters is TUC Professor of Work Environment at Cardiff University and formerly Professor of Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety at South Bank University. Karola Grodzki, at the time her research for this book was
undertaken, was Research Fellow at the Centre for Industrial and
Environmental Safety and Health, South Bank University. She is
currently employed by the European Commission. The views expressed in the book are purely those of the author/writer and may not in any circumstances be regarded as stating the official position of the European Commission.
