Introduction
Exposure to hazardous substances is a major cause of work related ill health. HSE estimates that there are around 13,000 deaths each year from work-related lung disease and cancer caused by past exposure, primarily to chemicals and dusts, at work. Many more people are disabled, or have their quality of life impaired, through workplace exposures to dusts and chemicals.
Exposure measurement can play a key part in the overall risk management approach for hazardous substances. This course is designed to give health and safety professionals a clear view of how exposure measurement can help them better understand and control the health risks posed by hazardous substances.
