Legislation

• Workplace assessment (WA, APV)
• If chemicals are used the Workplace assessment
  must be supplied with a Chemical WA
• Law concerning working with chemicals and
  mixtures thereof
• Law concerning carcinogenic compounds

3

• Chemical WA sharpens the rules for registration
  of the hazard-classified chemicals which are used
  in the laboratory

Definition of substances and mixtures Substances
Pure chemical compounds Mixtures (products or
materials) Contain more than one substance
5

• Workplace manuals are required
• When substances and mixtures are used, which
  satisfy the criteria for classification as
  hazardeous according to the rules given by The
  Ministry of Environment
• When substances and mixtures are used, which are
  on the Threshold Limit List from the Danish
  Working Environmet Authority (GV-listen)
• When mixtures are used, which contain gt 1 of a
  substance mentioned in The Threshold Limit List
  with a dust limit. (Exceptions inert mineral
  dust, inert respirable mineral dust, total
  organic dust). (For gaseous materials gt 0,2)

6
D) When materials are used which contain gt 1 of
a compound which is classified as hazardeous or
dangeous to the environment according to the
rules given by The Ministry of Environment (for
gaseous materials gt 0,2) _______________________

___________________ An increasing amount of
entreprises chose to write workplace manuals to
all chemicals. i.e. also chemicals which are not
classified as hazardeous according to the rules
mentioned above.

Carcinogenic compounds If carcinogenic compounds
are used, further rules apply The manual must
contain information about the carcinogenic risk
by working with the substance The names of the
substances must be mentioned in the manual The
container must be marked Indeholder et stof, der
er omfattet af dansk arbejdsmiljøregulering med
hensyn til kræftrisiko (contain a substance which
is regulated by the Danish Working Environment
Authorities concerning carcinogenic risk)

• Chemical Workplace Assessment (APV)
• If there is hazardeous chemicals or materials on
  the workplace then the workplace assessment must
  contain the following assessment points
• The hazardeous properties of the substances and
  materials
• The amount of exposure, type of exposure and how
  long it lasts
• How the work with the hazardeous substances is
  performed including the used amount.
• The effect of the precautions taken
• If possible, the conclusions from the
  occupational medicine assessments
• Threshold limits from The Danish Working
  Environment Authority
• Material safety data sheet (MSDS) information
  concerning safety and health
