Hazardous Substances

Do you work with hazardous substances?

Thousands of people are exposed to all kinds of hazardous substances at work. These can include chemicals that people make or work with directly, and also dust, fume and bacteria
which can be present in the workplace. Exposure can happen by breathing them in, contact with the skin, splashing them into the eyes or swallowing them. If exposure is not prevented or properly controlled, it can cause serious illness, including cancer, asthma and dermatitis,
and sometimes even death.

See also section on ‘Fire and explosion’ on page 17 and the ‘safe handling and use of substances’ section of the Health and Safety Policy Statement on page 26.

Does This Concern Me?

Do you use chemicals at work (including cleaning materials)?

Do you know suppliers of hazardous substances have to provide information to users, including safety data sheets and proper labelling?

Is there dust and fume present in your workplace?

Do you have any water systems which could be colonised by legionella?

Do you work with animals or their products? These may cause skin or respiratory sensitisation or be infected with bacteria or iruses.
