We are working on a COSHH strategy and are chasing down information on all kinds of interesting substances.

In Reg 7(7) of COSHH 2002, section (c) (ii) there is reference to 'or which is listed in section C of HSE publication Asthmagen? Critical assessments of the evidence for agents implicated in occupational asthma'

I am hoping someone here on the forum may be able to let me know what is listed in this Section C. The publication (1997) is available from HSE books at £25.00; more than my monthly budget for publications! If it is a 'mighty tome' then I may have to save up and buy it; if it is only a few lines of info, hopefully I can get help here.

Any help/guidance greatly appreciated.

Best regards
Andy

Amazingly, if you search for the publication on the HSE Books site, all of the substances are listed in the keywords! There are some that Smurfer did not mention, presumably because they have updated their guidance.
