HC Deb 01 November 1994 vol 248 c1094W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what proposals he has to study the health risk of benzene in garages and workplaces.

Mr. Oppenheim

[holding answer 31 October 1994]: The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988 require benzene exposure to be reduced so far as is reasonably practicable and in any case below the maximum exposure limit. The Health and Safety Executive plans to reassess the control of exposure to benzene in the workplace and aims to report by the end of 1995.
