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 non- dedicated facilities. Exposure related to dust, vapour, aerosols or spillage, and cleaning of equipment to be expected.

Process category (PROC):

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

Contributing activity / technique for workers 4

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 5

Name of activity / technique:

In these applications, the lubricant may be exposed to high energy conditions and chemical reactions may take place during use. Exhausted fluids need to be disposed of as waste. Repair and maintenance may lead to skin contact.

Process category (PROC):

PROC 20: Use of functional fluids in small devices

Product category used:

PC 16: Heat transfer fluids

PC 17: Hydraulic fluids

PC 24: Lubricants, greases, release products

Sector of end use:

SU 0: Other: SU 22

Substance supplied to that use in form of:

Subsequent service life relevant to this use:

no

Related assessment:

use assessed in a joint CSR

Pattern of exposure:
