Posted By CHRISTOPHER HAYWARD To save time I lifted this from Jay Joshi post on 20th January, covers most of it I think. Don't know about EH40 publication but the HSE were sending consultation letters around the chemical industry about the WELs of some chemicals late last year. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (Amendment) Regulations 2004 Made 20th December 2004 Laid before Parliament 23rd December 2004 Coming into force:- 17th January 2005 :-All regulations except regulations 2(a), (c) to (f) and (h), and 4(b) 6th April 2005:-Regulations 2(a), (c) to (f) and (h), and 4(b) The text of the regulations can be found at:- http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si2004/20043386.htm There is an HSE Press Release on The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (Amendment) Regulations 2004, but the press release only refers to the new restrictions on the amount of chromium VI in cement came into force from 17 January 2005 However, the same amendment regulations also implement the new WEL framework with effect from 6th April 2005. Surprisingly, the HSE press release has no mention about it ! The press release can be accessed at:- http://www.hse.gov.uk/press/2005/e05006.htm
