Episode 5: REACH




RRC Training Health and Safety Podcasts show

Summary: The Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals EU Regulation came into force in June 2007. It's a complicated subject that has limited appeal to specialists in the chemical industry but its purpose is to protect all of us and make industry more responsible for the chemicals they produce. This podcast from David Towlson tries to clarify some of the issues so that you can work out where your CSA fits in your CSR; how to find EINECS on the ECB; the need to check out MUD and the difference between NONs and CHIP. It goes beneath all the jargon to explain the key points to REACH.
