Straightforward solutions

A recent report by the HSE
estimates that around 8000
people die each year from
Occupational Cancers.

According to Castle Group,
many of these are caused by
encountering hazardous substances
at work and should
therefore be preventable.

The Control of Substances
Hazardous to Health
(COSHH) Regulations 2002
provide legislation that must
be complied with by all
companies throughout the
EU, but very often, to really
deal with the problem means
taking action over and above
the requirements of the law.

Castle Group has some
straightforward solutions for
companies that want to take
steps to prevent people
becoming ill from exposure to
hazardous substances in the
workplace. These include
training courses, sampling
equipment and personal
monitors.

Compliance expert and
managing director of Castle
Group, Simon Bull said:
“People often seem to think
air-sampling is difficult, but
we can show them that this is
not the case. Companies
really need to embrace this
subject if we have a hope of
saving lives in the future.”
