3 Introduction to the workshop IOHA Concept of Control Banding Perspective and goal of the workshop Workshop programme

4 International Occupational Hygiene Association Southern Africa Canada USA Mexico Brazil UK Netherlands Ireland Belgium France Norway Sweden Finland Poland Germany Switzerland Italy Japan Taiwan Hong Kong Australia New Zealand Malaysia

5 Definition of occupational hygiene Anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of chemical, physical and biological agents at the workplace

6 Objectives of IOHA Promote and develop occupational hygiene Promote exchange of information Encourage development of occupational hygiene Maintain and promote ethical standard

7 I O H A Organisation of organisations 25 member organisations Over occupational hygienists

8 International Occupational Hygiene Association 1 board representative per member organisation 1 vote per member organisation Capitation fee - affordable for smaller organisations Low fee base = minimal operating surplus Rely heavily on volunteers – individual and organisational

9 Control Banding

10 Control Banding is a confusing name! Control Banding International Chemical Control Toolkit: ICCT

11 The ICCT Hazard ranking Risk assessment Risk control

12 Concept of the ICCT Five hazard classes: based on 67/548/EEG and 1999/45/EG (future: based on GHS from the United Nations) Five emission classes: liquids: based on vapour pressure solids: estimate dustiness on five point scale Hazard + emission risk Additional information: amount, time, conditions Risk assessment and ranking Control sheets or specialist advice

13 Organisation of the ICCT project Co-operation project between WHO, ILO, IOHA and many others Co-ordination: International Technical Group (ITG), supported by (IPCS) Tasks assigned to ICT members Most contact by teleconference (every 6 weeks) In WHO 2001 – 2005 and 2006 – 2010 Collaborative Program

14 Dissemination of the ICCT Originally: from HSE (GB), for SMEs (COSHH Essentials) IOHA adapted to medium-sized enterprises in developing countries Available on CD ROM Languages: (e.g.) English, Portuguese, Indonesian, Chinese Pilot projects: (e.g.) Indonesia, India, Thailand, South- Africa

15 Perspectives and goal of the workshop Toolkit concept is applicable to other occupational hazards Example: Ergonomics Toolkit Goal of the workshop To find out if developing an injury prevention management toolkit is possible and desirable If yes: who could initiate this
