Reducing worker exposure by using the Occupational Risk Management Toolbox
نویسنده
چکیده
This special edition 7th GOHNET Newsletter will inform you about new practical tools to assess and manage risks at workplace level based on the concept of “Control Banding”. GOHNET Issue 5 introduced readers to one of these control banding tools, the International Chemical Control Toolkit. This Toolkit responds to the need for practical risk assessment and management approaches that can be applied across the board for all the chemicals used in a workplace, rather than a chemicalby-chemical approach based on occupational hygiene measurements for the fraction of chemicals where occupational exposure limits have been set.
