Contributing activity / technique for workers

Contributing activity / technique for workers 1

Name of activity / technique:

Use of the substances in high integrity contained systemwhere little potential exists for exposures, e.g. any sampling via closed loop systems

Process category (PROC):

PROC 1: Chemical production or refinery in closed process without likelihood of exposure or processes with equivalent containment conditions

Contributing activity / technique for workers 2

Name of activity / technique:

Continuous process but where the design philosophy is not spe-cifically aimed at minimizing emissions
It is not high integrity and occasional expose will arise e.g. through maintenance, sampling and equipment breakages

Process category (PROC):

PROC 2: Chemical production or refinery in closed continuous process with occasional controlled exposure or processes with equivalent containment conditions

Contributing activity / technique for workers 3

Name of activity / technique:

Sampling, loading, filling, transfer, dumping, bagging in dedicated facilities. Exposure related to dust, vapour, aerosols or spillage, and cleaning of equipment to be expected.

Process category (PROC):

PROC 8b: Transfer of substance or mixture (charging and discharging) at dedicated facilities

Contributing activity / technique for workers 4

Name of activity / technique:

Filling lines specifically designed to both capture vapour and aerosol emissions and minimise spillage

Process category (PROC):

PROC 9: Transfer of substance or mixture into small containers (dedicated filling line, including weighing)

Product category used:

PC 16: Heat transfer fluids

PC 17: Hydraulic fluids

PC 24: Lubricants, greases, release products
