3rd Stakeholder Day 2023
The proceedings of our 3rd Stakeholder Day are now available for download. This edition focused on the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability aspects of the Green Deal and the role of solvents in this context.
Flammability guide: Update 2022
Static electricity is one of the main hazards associated with flammable solvents. Learn about the potential sources of static electricity and how to safely handle solvents in the workplace via our updated best practice guide. In June 2022, ESIG has updated the Flammability Guidelines to explain the main characteristics of solvent flammability and provide recommendations for safe handling and use.
2021 Stakeholder Days
In the framework of the European Green Deal, ESIG organised two stakeholder days on 14th January and 8th June.
Safe handling of solvents
This film enables users to identify health and environmental hazards and to implement best practices to ensure the safe handling of solvents. It is a joint production with the UK Solvents Industry Association (SIA).
Solvents, simply essential
Watch this video to learn about solvents and the industry’s impact in Europe. See how ESIG encourages best practice and supports innovation.
Measuring solvent vapour concentrations in the work environment
Measuring exposure to solvent vapours is key to understand whether the controls you have in place are sufficient to protect workers’ health. Learn about the available techniques and how to design effective measurement programmes for your workplace.
Solvents and air quality
Discover how ESIG has engaged since its formation in 1996 in furthering the scientific and technical understanding on solvents and air quality contributing to reduce solvents’ VOC emissions.
Reciprocal Calculation Procedure (RCP) part 2: how to calculate an OEL based on RCP method
Reciprocal Calculation Procedure (RCP) part 1: what hydrocarbon solvents and RCP are
To protect workers’ health, ESIG has just published two videos explaining how to calculate occupational exposure limits of hydrocarbon solvents thanks to the Reciprocal Calculation Procedure.
Safe loading and transportation of bulk solvents by road
Designed to support hauliers, drivers and site operators, this short film encourages best practices in the transport of solvents and bulk transfer between vehicles and storage vessels.
