Steel workers beware!
In July 2000 the Health and Safety Executive in the
UK issued a CHEMICAL HAZARD ALERT NOTICE - MANGANESE
AND ITS INORGANIC COMPOUNDS. The Alert indicates that
the existing Occupational Exposure Standards (OESs)
can no longer be supported.
"These limits were established some years ago,
and have recently been reviewed by an independent
committee of experts in occupational health. Because
of the information now available on the health effects
of manganese and its inorganic compounds, the committee
could no longer identify a level which is both safe
and practicably achievable. HSC is therefore consulting
on the withdrawal of the current OESs from 2001."
