Résumé

These Regulations implement Council Directives 90/679/EEC of 26 November, 1990, and 93/88/EEC, on the protection of workers from risks related to exposure to a biological agent at work. The Regulations define biological agents. Biological agents thus include bacteria, viruses and fungi. The Regulations draw a distinction between incidental exposure to a biological agent and exposure arising from their deliberate use. Employers must identify the biological agent to which workers are, or may be, exposed. They must assess the risk, making use of the classification referred to in regulation 2 and the Fourth Schedule, and proceed in accordance with the remaining Regulations where appropriate. Specific Regulations set out action to be taken in Veterinary and Health Care facilities and in industrial processes.
