How can we protect workers' health and wellbeing when dealing with hazardous medicinal products? | Safety and health at work EU-OSHA

New guidance from the European Commission offers essential advice for both employers and workers on how to manage exposure to hazardous medicinal products (HMPs). HMPs may cause carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reprotoxic (CMR) effects in workers exposed to them. Therefore, it is crucial to have proper management practices in place.  Exposure can affect medical workers as well as cleaners and laundry workers, or waste workers, and the advice provided in the guide is tailored to the groups of workers potentially exposed.

Despite the EU-wide banning of #asbestos in 2005, we all continue to work and live in buildings that contain this material.

We want to achieve #asbestos-free workplaces in Europe.
