Dear Colleagues, My employer is looking to run some trials on a particular waste stream which contains mercury. We have appointed a specialist to carry out occupational monitoring, sampling etc. Can anyone suggest a good source of information looking at occupational health surveillance, frequency etc for mercury? I know this will be based on risk assessment, but if just looking for indication etc at this stage. I dont see much specfic guidance on HSE-Website. I have looked at MDHS 16/2, HSL BMGV, COSHH etc. Many Thanks MAT

Maybe not what you need but lots of info for a good starting point re biological monitoring of staff to prove your controls are working. Sorry for the massive links. BOHS guide to bio monitoring http://www.google.co.uk/...2=e3-ArXbqqNyuZuookYxQTA HSG 167 Bio Monitoring a long way down this list http://www.hse.gov.uk/pu.../books/index-hsg-ref.htm
