1 Chemicals and Health & Safety at work, a European perspective Tony Musu, European Trade Union Institute Kemiens Dag 16 Copenhagen, 23 November 2016

2 Overview Good and bad side of chemicals Main EU legislations on chemicals Classification & Labelling CLP regulation REACH regulation Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) legislation Interface between these legislations Do these EU legislations deliver & improve OSH? Longer term perspectives 2

3 The good side of chemicals 1,2 million workers in the EU chemical industry 3,6 million jobs in downstream sectors (building, textile, automotive, electronic, etc...) Turnover of the EU chemical industry: 519 billion per year Source: Cefic, 2015 Chemicals contribute to the EU economic prosperity in terms of trade and jobs 3

4 The bad side of chemicals Cancer is the biggest killer at work in the EU deaths/year due to workrelated cancers 4 Source: Jukka Takala, ETUI, 2015

5 Negative impact on workers, employers and social-security Annual Societal Costs of work-related cancers in the EU billion ( ) 5 Source: RIVM, 2016

6 Main EU legislations on chemicals Marketing/Use of Chemicals Protection of workers exposed to Chemicals REACH CLP Workers Chemical Agents Directive (98/24 EC) Carcinogens & Mutagens Directive (2004/37 EC) 6

7 Classification, Labelling & Packaging (CLP) Regulation Harmonised Classification and Labelling for carcinogens: C&L Notifications: Category of carcinogen Number of substances 1A 336 1B Total 1215 covering ~ individual substances of which ~ self-classified as Carc. cat 1A or 1B or 2 C&L inventory database available on ECHA website (including substances in Annex VI of CLP with harmonized classification): 7

8 REACH regulation (EU 1907/2006) Registration: Manufacturers and importers of chemicals > 1 tpa are required to register their substances to demonstrate they can be used safely Evaluation of some substances by Member States / European Chemicals Agency Authorisation only for substances of very high concern Restrictions when risks are unacceptable 8

9 Timeline for REACH registration ~ unique substances registered up to Nov

10 Chemical Agents Directive (98/24/EC) Aim: protection of workers from risks related to chemicals at work Scope: all chemicals used at the workplace (regardless of volume) Obligations for employers: Determine whether any hazardous chemical agents are present in the workplace Assess any risk to the H&S of workers arising from their use If risks do exist, mandatory hierarchy of prevention and protection measures (substitution > exposure reduction > protective equipmt) Monitor the workers health Comply with existing Occupational Exposure Limit Values (OELVs); up to now over 140 substances with indicative OELVs at EU level Keep risk reduction measures up to date Provide information and training to workers 10

11 Carcinogens Directive (2004/37/EC) Aim: protection of workers from risks related to carcinogens and mutagens at work Scope: all carcinogens and mutagens (category 1A or 1B) Obligations for employers: Eliminate/Replace with a substance which is not or less dangerous (mandatory if the alternative is available & regardless of cost) If substitution is not technically feasible, use a closed system Reduce workers' level of exposure as low as is technically possible Comply with Binding Occupational Exposure Limit Values (BOELs) Provide information and training to workers Keep record of who is exposed and keep data available for authorities Health surveillance of exposed workers 11

12 Occupational exposure limit values adopted at EU level Under the Carcinogens & Mutagens Directive (2004/37/EC): Binding OELs: minimum level of protection across the EU Only 3 BOELs in 26 years (benzene, vinyl chloride, wood dust) New legislative proposal under discussion to have additional BOELs 1 st batch of 13 carcinogens proposed by EU Commission in May nd batch of 12 carcinogens by end of 2016? 3 rd batch of 25 carcinogens by 2020? Under the Chemical Agents Directive (98/24/EEC): 12 Indicative OELs: different levels of protection across MS possible Around 140 IOELs in 18 years 0 th list (indicative limit values, 91/322/EEC) 1 st list (2000/39/EC) 2 nd list (2006/15/EC) 3 rd list (2009/161/EU) 4 th list (draft adopted, under scrutiny) 5 th list under development

13 First batch of new BOELs under EP/Council co-decision Chemical Agents Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) Hardwood dusts Proposed BOEL (8hr TWA) Nb of exposed workers 0.1 mg/m 3 5,300,000 3 mg/m 3 3, 333,000 Source: COM proposal 2016/0130 COD Hydrazine Chromium (VI) compounds Acrylamide 2-Nitropropane 1,3-Butadiene Ethylene Oxide mg/m 3 2,124, mg/m 3 916, mg/m 3 54, mg/m 3 (5 ppm) 51, mg/m 3 (1 ppm) 27, mg/m 3 (1 ppm) 15,600 Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) 2.6 mg/m 3 15,000 Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF) o-toluidine 0.3 f/ml 10, mg/m 3 (0.1 ppm) 5,500 1,2- Epoxypropane (propylene oxide) 2.4 mg/m 3 (1 ppm) 485-1, Bromoethylene (vinyl bromide) 4.4 mg/m 3 (1 ppm) n/a

14 Interface between REACH & OSH legislation (1) Marketing/Use of Chemicals REACH CLP Risk assessment + Substitution + DNEL/OEL Protection of workers exposed to Chemicals Chemical Agents Directive (98/24 EC) Carcinogens & Mutagens Directive (2004/37 EC) REACH, Art 4 (2) : This Regulation shall apply without prejudice to Dir 89/391, Dir 98/24, Dir 2004/37, [.] 14

15 REACH applies without prejudice to OSH legislation In practice, it means that employers still have to comply with their obligations under worker protection legislation (Chemical Agents Directive & Carcinogens Directive): Risk assessment at the workplace (can be combined with REACH Chemical Safety Assessment) Compliance with existing EU or national binding OELs (regardless of DNELs) Obligation to use a safer alternative to a carcinogen or a mutagen when technically available (regardless of eventual authorisations granted under REACH) Obligation to provide information and training to workers 15

16 Interface between REACH & OSH legislation (2) Ongoing debate about the interpretation of REACH Art 58(2): Should the uses of a carcinogen be exempted from the authorisation requirement under REACH when there is an EU OEL under the Chemical Agents or the Carcinogens & Mutagens Directives? ETUI opinion: OELs useful tool to reduce exposure but not as effective as substitution Neither the existing indicative nor binding OELs are appropriate reasons to request authorisation exemptions under REACH Art 58(2): MS can deviate from EU IOELs and implement higher values BOELs do not guarantee adequate control (under OSH law exposure minimisation is mandatory below BOEL) 16

17 Do these legislations deliver & improve workers protection? The data generated by REACH/CLP foster a better knowledge of the properties of chemicals, their effects on human health and ways of reducing risk during their use REACH improves the transmission of such data along the entire supply chain, thanks to better quality labelling and Safety Data Sheets Authorisation procedures in REACH are promoting the substitution of the most harmful substances by safer alternatives & innovation (e.g. substitution of arsenic trioxide in Venetian glass making SMEs) More BOELs under OSH legislation are essential to minimize workers exposure to carcinogens & reduce future work-related cancers REACH & OSH legislation are complementary, compliance under REACH brings benefits under OSH (and vice versa) 17

18 Longer term perspectives Synergies between REACH and OSH need to be worked on and developed further We need a public policy against work-related cancers Promoting substitution (public support & speed up SVHCs inclusion in REACH Candidate list & Authorisation list) Collecting systematic data on exposures (Hazchem@work) Collecting reliable data on cancer and occupations Enforcement We need a consistent regulatory framework for Substances toxic for reproduction & Endocrine Disruptor Chemicals We need to pay more attention to gender We need more training of workers & employers for effective use of data generated by REACH/CLP and OELs established under OSH Industry needs to be convinced that the only way forward is safer chemicals and products containing them 18

19 Thank you for your attention! More info available in ETUI publications (2016): 1) Eliminating occupational cancer in Europe and globally 2) Cancer risks in the workplace, better regulation, stronger protection 3) Carcinogens that should be subject to binding limits on workers exposure
