§ Mr. MackinlayTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what regulations exist laying down safety standards for the production and handling of poly aluminium chloride and aluminium chlorohydrate.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythThe Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992 require employers to make appropriate arrangements to control risks to the health and safety of their employees whilst they are at work. In addition, where there are specific risks from the production, handling or other use of chemical substances, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988—COSHH—will apply. These include requirements for exposure to these compounds to be prevented or, where this is not reasonably practicable, adequately controlled.
