Abstract

The Regulations further amend the principal Regulations by: (a) excluding defined shipboard activities of ships' crews from their operation, except for Navy ships (reg. 2(b)); (b) replacing regulation 7(7) and (8) by substituting new requirements to observe principles of good practice for the control of exposure to substances hazardous to health introduced by Schedule 2A, to ensure that workplace exposure limits are not exceeded, and to ensure in respect of carcinogens and asthmagens that exposure is reduced to as low a level as is reasonably practicable (reg. 2(d)(i) and (h)); (c) introducing a single new workplace exposure limit for substances hazardous to health which replaces occupational exposure standards and maximum exposure limits (reg. 2(a),(c),(d) and (f)); and (d) introducing a duty to review control measures other than the provision of plant and equipment, including systems of work and supervision, at suitable intervals (reg. 2(e)). The Regulations amend the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2002 by excluding defined shipboard activities of ships' crews, except for Navy ships, from their operation (reg. 4(a)), and by introducing a duty to review control measures other than the provision of plant and equipment, including systems of work and supervision, at suitable intervals (reg. 4(b)).
