Occupational exposure limits substance evaluations
ECHA’s Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) provides opinions on occupational exposure limits under the Carcinogens, Mutagens or Reprotoxic substances Directive (2004/37/EC) and the Chemical Agents Directive (98/24/EC) on worker protection from risks related to exposure to substances found in the workplace.
The table below provides up-to-date information on the activities planned, ongoing or completed by ECHA in relation to its work on occupational exposure limits.
There are currently no ongoing consultations.
