Solvents@Work
The Solvents@Work campaign is part of our continuous effort to encourage responsible and safe handling of solvents.
It is a cornerstone of our product stewardship commitment.
Discover the many multi-lingual tools here that you can use in your workplace.
RCP for setting occupational exposure limits for hydrocarbon solvents
This paper from July 2017 provides an update on the application of the reciprocal calculation procedure (RCP) method to calculate occupational exposure levels for hydrocarbon solvents taking into account recent toxicological information and changes in regulatory requirements.
Managing the health risks of solvent exposure
Learn how best to manage health risks from exposure to solvents via inhalation of vapours and contact with the skin and eyes. This guide also helps to explain the European regulations around health risk management. This resource is especially useful for SMEs.
Flammability guide
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.
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.
