§ Mr. Dudley SmithFollowing is the information:
ventions and recommendations with a bearing on pollution of the working environment have been ratified or accepted by the United Kingdom either in whole or in part. Where they have not been fully accepted it is normally only because of differences of methods of achieving the same basic objectives. Information on maximum allowable concentrations on the lines suggested in paragraph 5(1) of recommendations (No. 97) concerning the protection of the Health of Workers in Places of Employment, are published by H.M. Factory Inspectorate as a technical data note. There is no general legislation about monitoring but firms are encouraged to carry out such tests and in addition the Inspectorate carries out estimations as required.
127WAny further legislation in this field will have to await the outcome of the Robens Committee on Safety and Health at Work.
