ENVIROWISE – Partnership for compliance with WEEE & RoHS
Envirowise will partner a host company with a supply chain of at least 10 – 15
companies. The partnership aims to implement improved environmental performance,
cost savings, and improved legislative compliance (i.e. WEEE and RoHS) throughout the
whole supply chain. The partnership will aim to deliver a series of benefits to both the
host company and the suppliers involved. This will be achieved through a series of
services including mailed out publications, events and seminars, workshops, and most
importantly on-site visits.
A similar partnership in the retail sector in 2004 identified £4 million worth of cost savings
of which over £2 million have already been realised.
No funding is needed from the host company – just action. Want to know more then

Health, Safety and Environment
HSE publishes revised guidance on the
correct selection and safe use of RPE
HSE has published extensively revised and updated
guidance covering the correct and safe use of
respiratory protective equipment (RPE) The original
version of the guidance was published in 1998.
However, findings from HSE research suggests that
industry’s perception, knowledge and understanding
of occupational exposure limits was limited and that
they played little part in workplace exposure, and the
same research found that the use of personal
protective equipment featured highly as a control
measure.
HSE’s new approach to selecting RPE extends the
‘risk-banding’ approach which has already been
introduced in the UK for helping to control exposure to
chemical agents at source, which uses Hazard Risk
Phrases (R-phrases), combined with potential for
exposure based on the amount of substance used,
and its volatility. The R-phrase is already well
established in Europe for classification and labelling of
hazardous substances.
The law governing the use of RPE and the regulations
make specific requirements for its correct use at work.
It must:
- Be adequate and provide the wearer wit
- effective protection;
- Be suitable for the intended use;
- Be ‘CE’ marked;
- Be selected, used and maintained by properly
- trained people;
- Be correctly maintained, examined and tested’
- and
- Be correctly stored.
The publication Respiratory Protective Equipment at
Work: a Practical Guide, HSG53, ISBN 0-7176-2904-X
provides employers, manufactures and safety reps
who use or supply RPE with advice. Available from
HSE Books tel: 01787 881165
Noise and vibration regulations hit the
road
HSE together with EEF (Engineering Employers
Federation) will jointly be running a series of noise and
vibration roadshows in the Autumn. At work, over 1.1
million people are at risk from high levels of noise and
about 1.7 million from Hand Arm Vibration (HAV). The
new EU-based regulations for control of risks in the
work place from vibration came into the UK in July
2005 and noise regulations will be updated in early
2006 The planned roadshows are to advise employers
of the changes taking place.
Dates and venues for these shows are:
September 27 Glasgow
September 28 Sheffield
September 29 Hook
October 4 Hadleigh
October 5 Belfast
October 7 Washington
October 14 Birmingham
October 18 Warrington
October 19 Leeds
October 20 Barleythorpe
November 1 Bridgend
November 3 London
For further information contact your local HSE or EEF
office.
COMAH Regulation in force
Amendments to COMAH (Control of Major Accident
Hazards Regulations 1999) came into force at the end
of June, announced by the Health and Safety
Commission (HSC). The 2005 amendments broaden
the scope of COMAH to take into account recent
industrial accidents and the results of research on
carcinogens and substances dangerous for the
environment. They implement Directive 2003/105/EC
that amends Directive 96/82/EC (known as the Seveso
II Directive). The key revision regard changes to the
lists of named dangerous substances or generic
categories of substances. These changes involve:
- A redefinition to cover lower percentage of ammonium nitrate composition;
- A new named category for potassium nitrate fertilisers;
- Specification of seven new carcinogens, and raised threshold limits for all carcinogens;
- New category for petroleum products to include gas oils such as diesel, naphtha and kerosene;
- Redefinition of the classes for explosives;
- Lower qualifying thresholds for substances dangerous for the environment; and
- A change to the aggregation rule that is applied to all substances classified as toxic, dangerous for the environment, flammable or oxidising.
Lessons have been learnt from a number of accidents that have occurred since Seveso II was adopted viz.
- A spill of cyanide entered the river Tisza in Romania killing thousands of tonnes of fish;
- A series of explosions at a firework factory in the Netherlands that killed 20 people and injured almost 1000 and caused extensive damage to the locality around the factory;
- An explosion involving granular ammonium nitrate in France which killed 30 people.
HAZRED project awarded EU funding
The project is launched as changes in legislation
governing hazardous waste and the use of landfill sites
came into force (16 July), which will impact on many
businesses, particularly SMEs.
The Environment Agency is leading a European-
funded project to develop a sector-led approach to
help small businesses reduce the hazardous waste
they produce and save money. The three-year project
aims to demonstrate the benefits of setting hazardous
waste reduction targets and developing waste
reduction plans in partnership with those industry
sectors most in need.
HAZRED will work with small businesses as they make
up the majority of businesses and are less likely to
have staff and resources dedicated to environmental
issues. The project will seek to identify best practice
mechanisms that can be transferred to other sectors
and inform the approach to other EU member states.
The six industry sectors are:
- General construction/building
- Treatment and/or coating of metals
- Maintenance and repair of motor vehicles
- Photographic processing
- Manufacture of speciality organic chemicals
- Manufacture of machinery and equipment
For more information about HAZRED and how you
take part, visit: www.hazred.org.uk
PPC (Scotland)
The Scottish Executive consultation on proposed
amendments to the Pollution Prevention and Control
(Scotland) Regulations 2000 (PPC) and the separate
consultation about activities involving hydrogen
halides and ammonia are now finalised and came into
force on 2 July 2005.
A copy of the new regulations is on the HMSO’s
website at www.scotland-legislation.hmso.gov.uk
Questions on any particular changes can be
discussed with your local SEPA offices - see SEPA
website for telephone numbers at www.sepa.org.uk
Hazardous Waste – Welsh Assembly
Interim Guidance on Premises Notification
The Welsh Assembly Government published the
consultation document Review of the Special Waste
Regulations in Wales – Proposals for replacement
Hazardous Waste Regulations and List of Waste
Regulations in August 2004. The regulation came into
force in July and one of the requirements of the
regulations is the notification to the Environment Agency of premises that produce hazardous waste.
The effect of the regulations makes it an offence to
remove hazardous waste from premises that are not
either notified or exempt from the notification
requirement. Interim guidance, issued in draft,
explaining the notification, and subject to amendment,
is available from the Waste Policy Team by telephone
on: 02920 821589, E-mail: waste@wales.gsi.gov.uk or
on the Assembly’s web-site at: www.countryside.wales.gov.uk
HSE undertakes review of RIDDOR
HSE has published an on-line discussion document as
part of its review of the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases,
and Dangerous Occurrence Regulations 1995
(IDDOR).
A key element is to ensure that any future reporting
requirements are easy to understand and that
businesses can achieve compliance without undue
administration costs. It is also essential that any
reporting system is unbureaucratic and does not
burden business unnecessarily. Bill Callaghan, Chair
of HSE said "RIDDOR is one of the most important
sources of information for the enforcing authorities
and guides some, but not all, regulatory activity.
However, the case has yet to be made as to whether
RIDDOR is really the best means of gathering
information on occupational health and for the
purposes of health and safety statistics, or whether we
could rely on other mechanisms to collect the
information"
The full text of the document can be viewed or
downloaded from HSE’s website at:
www.hse.gov.uk/consult/disdocs/riddordd.htm.
Managing Asbestos
Asbestos is the single biggest cause of work-related
deaths in the UK. Asbestos-related diseases such as
mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer are
thought to be responsible for up to 3,500 deaths each
year due to past exposure. Asbestos was widely used
in building up to 1985 that is why it is so vital that the
correct safety precautions are taken when working in
areas where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
may be encountered. While ACMs remain undisturbed
they pose no risk to health, however they can be fatal
if not properly managed.
HSE’s asbestos campaign aims to provide an
awareness of the duty to manage and encourage
people to comply with their responsibilities. A leaflet
available from HSE gives details of a wide range of
information books that aim to reduce the risks from
asbestos in a wide variety of industries. Managing and
working with asbestos can be obtained from your local
HSE office or on the web at: www.hse.gov.uk
REACH regulations
An article in ‘Environment Business’ states that the
proposed EU laws for monitoring and controlling
hazardous chemicals will not affect competitiveness –
contrary to claims by industry according to a report.
A study funded by the chemical industry shows that
the EU’s REACH proposals will not incur huge business
costs or cause European countries to lose out to
competitors on the international market, the European
Environment Bureau claimed. Carried out by KPMG,
and paid for by employers association UNICE and
chemical industry association CEFIC, the study found:
- There would be no withdrawal of important chemicals due to registration costs;
- Registration costs would largely be passed on or absorbed by the supply chain; and
- Product reformulation would not be likely.
Moreover, the industry itself stated in the study that
there would be business benefits from the better
information available on, and risk management of
chemicals that would be made possible by the
implementation of REACH.
Company News and Products
National Physical Laboratory (NPL)
NPL has launched a national measurement club to
promote awareness and take up of micro and nano
measurement technology in the UK. The aim is for the
Micro and Nano Technology (MNT) Measurement Club
to become the main forum for the communication of
micro and nano measurement issues and the
dissemination of measurement best practice and
expertise. It will also act as a leading facilitator of
collaborative micro and nano metrology related R & D
products. The club will use the DTI’s MNT Forum and
members driven meetings, workshops and other
focused events to achieve this.
The club will aim to help service providers,
manufacturers of MNT tools and equipment and end
users in industry and academia by supporting the
development and exploitation of products and
systems at the micro/nanoscale and by the application
of measurement to solve critical MNT problems. For

Reactec
According to Reactec, a UK vibration consultancy,
most of British industry has failed to take adequate
steps to prepare for upcoming HSE regulations
relating to the use of vibrating machinery or
equipment. The HSE introduced two new regulations
in July which focused on the health risks associated
with Hand Arm Vibration (HAV) and Whole-Body
Vibration (WBV) and Shock. Employers will be
responsible for ensuring exposure to vibrations is kept
within safe limits, which will involve a risk assessment
of their equipment and working practices to make sure
employees are not in danger. Mark-Paul Buckingham,
Reactec’s MD said "Various levels and weightings will
be given to different vibrations, which will make it
difficult for companies to comply with the regulations,
without experience of vibration measurement and
analysis. The regulations also require the employer to
be up to date with technical progress in the field and
alternative measures to control exposure and minimise
risk". For further information on vibration reduction
technology and solution contact Reactec on: 0131

Sandvik Materials Technology
Sandvik have launched a range of surface engineered
stainless steel strip materials. Manufacturing
processes have been developed to apply coatings
with excellent adhesion and purity to stainless steel
strip, enabling selected combinations of substrates
and surface layers to provide new, enhanced and
often unique material properties.
Properties such as electrical conductivity, low
resistivity, corrosion, surface function or decorative
appearance can be met or enhanced, making the
surface technology products ideal for the electronics
industry.
The surface layer can consist of any metallic element
e.g. aluminium, nickel, copper or silver and mixtures of
elements or binary compounds, such as aluminium
oxide (Al2O3) or titanium oxide (TiO2)
Coatings can be single or double sided and different
on each side of the strip, and because of the excellent
adhesion between substrate and coating, strip
products can be cold formable and bendable to tight
radii.

News in Brief
Two waste-management companies were prosecuted
and fined a total of £140,000 following the death of an
employee who was crushed under a telescopic reach
truck. The employee had not been trained to operate
the truck. The investigation found the companies
failed to take adequate measures to prevent or control
risks, failed to carry out a risk assessment and to
provide adequate supervision and suitable training.
A company, at Rugby Magistrates Court, pleaded
guilty to four charges of illegally depositing, keeping
and treating controlled waste on land when it did not
ave a waste management licence resulted in a fine of
£40,000.
For polluting a Worcestershire brook, a company
pleaded guilty to a charge of causing trade effluent, in
this instance water contaminated with waste, and was
fined £5,000 and had to pay nearly £1,500 costs. The
charge was brought by the Environment Agency under
Section 85 of the Water Resources Act 1991.
At Welshpool Magistrates Court a company was fined
£42,000 with nearly £18,500 costs for deposition of silt
into a stream only 1/2 metre in width. A sample of
the discharge showed the solids content to be 38
times over the legal limit.

Distance Learning Module MF1 –
alternative to tapes & CDs study
Following a survey of the Education Committee and
some of the membership there was unanimous dislike
of listening to tapes and CDs and that reading scripts
with access to graphics, pictures etc was preferred. In
particular it is much easier to re-read sections of script
rather that find the section on tapes and CDs.
A ‘Script Version’ has now been produced from the
original information but incorporating revisions made
over the intervening years. It has been produced
single-sided in a ring binder to make it is easier to read
alongside the ‘notes’ binder. Students now have the
option to choose the method of study they prefer.
If proven a successful venture, consideration may be
given to change other modules to script versions.
Organic Finishing Units for Foundation
Course and Module
A series of alternative units are now available for
students, covering the area organic finishing, who
wish to study for the Foundation Certificate by either
the tutored course or distance learning module. A
student or company can select the appropriate
alternative units to replace units in the standard
course or module syllabus. Units are available
covering:
- Cleaning for Paint Application
- Chemical Conversion Processes
- Conventional Paint Processes
- Electrophoretic & Autodeposition Paints
- Paint Application Methods
- Coating Powders and their Application
- Testing of Materials and Coatings
Interested students/companies should contact the
IMF at Exeter House tel: 0121 622 7387
Further units covering other technologies of surface
finishing are proposed.
