| Summary: | "Significant risks to health can be posed by working with products containing chemicals. As well as concerning the producers of such products this also affects staff in companies who work with products containing chemicals on a day to day basis. Such products are covered by the COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) Regulations. The Health and Safety Executive, (HSE) is keen to increase its understanding of the characteristics of people working with chemical products in small firms, to assist in developing better targeted communications. It commissioned this survey research across five sectors - ladies hairdressers, dry cleaners, electroplaters, woodyards and garages, and a total of 521 face-to-face interviews were conducted." |
