Legislation Highlights for All Applications

Oxygen Deficiency
Exposure to atmospheres containing 12% or less Oxygen can bring out unconsciousness without warning and so quickly that the individual cannot help or protect themselves.
Vibbration Legislation
Hand-arm vibration comes from the use of hand-held power tools and is the cause of significant ill health (painful and disabling disorders of the blood vessels, nerves and joints). By law, as an employer, you must assess and identify measures to eliminate or reduce risks from exposure to hand-arm vibration so that you can protect your employees from risks to their health.
Noise Pollution Bulletin
Maximum workplace noise should be 85dB.
Flue Gas
After 1st January 2011, any gas-fuelled appliance which has its flue concealed in any kind of void (so that inspection of the flue is impossible) needs to be checked and risk-assessed by a GSR engineer. http://www.hse.gov.uk/gas/domestic/alert021008.htm
What is CO?
You can't see it, taste it or smell it but CO can kill quickly without warning. According to the HSE statistics around 20 people die from CO poisoning caused by gas appliances and flues that have not been properly installed, maintained or that are poorly ventilated. Levels that do not kill can cause serious harm to health if breathed in over a long period. In extreme cases paralysis and brain damage can be caused as a result of prolonged exposure to CO.
Noise At Work
The maximum daily or weekly exposure is 87 db and the maximum peak sound pressure is 140 db. If the daily noise reaches 85db(A) the law states that ear protection must not only be provided, it must be worn! The regulations state that "the employer shall ensure that risk from the exposure of employees to noise is either eliminated at source or, where this is not reasonably practicable, reduced to as low a level as reasonably practicable" Are your emloyees exposed to high noise levels??
