Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 come into force
Implementation date: 21 November 2002
The Regulations extend
the matters to be considered when carrying out an assessment of the risk from
exposure to substances hazardous to health. They also detail the measures which
the employer must take to prevent or adequately control the exposure of his
employees to substances hazardous to health and extend the duties on employers
with respect to health surveillance where an employee is found to have an
identifiable disease or adverse health effect caused by exposure to a substance
hazardous to health. The Regulations can be viewed on the OPSI website.
