Westpoort VCA Eindtermen Basis, VOL, VIL VCU Engels

Based on the exposure and his state of health, it is determined whether he is and remains suitable Periodic medical examination when working with hazardous substances - Medical examination must determine whether the employee remains fit to continue working with the hazardous substance Periodicity depends on product and exposure, for most substances once a year - Priorities of measures for (possible) exposure to hazardous substances Initially take measures at the source (use other products, tablets instead of dust) - Secondly, technical, collective and organizational measures (local extraction, ventilation) - Thirdly, personal protective equipment Measures in case of (possible) exposure to hazardous substances - Elimination: by not using a hazardous substance - Replacement: replacing with a less hazardous substance (e.g. replacing a solvent-based paint with water-based paint) - Priorities - Measure (local extraction): - Extraction of the dangerous vapour, gas or dust particles directly at the place where the contamination occurs, e.g. during welding Measure (separation of people and source): - Physical separation between people and hazardous substances or chemical processes by, for example, a wall, closed reactor vessels, a fume hood. - Adjustment (e.g. do not use the raw material in powder form, but in tablet form)

Measure (local extraction) Extraction of the dangerous vapour, gas or dust particles directly at the place where the contamination occurs, e.g. during welding Measure (separation of people and source) Physical separation between humans and hazardous substances or chemical processes by, for example, a wall, closed reactor vessels, a fume hood/fume hood

Measure ventilation Suck polluted air out and bring in clean air

Use personal monitor -

Wear at chest height and not under clothing

- Test before use or have been tested before use - Actions to be taken in the event of an alarm

Mode of absorption into the body Hazardous substances intake routes - By mouth - Through the skin - Through the respiratory organs -

Direct absorption into the bloodstream

Method of ingestion of hazardous substances - Eating and drinking with dirty hands - Contact with solvents or solvents in paint - Inhalation of dust, gas, mist and vapour - Through an open wound Eating and drinking in a special area, taking off dirty work clothes (dirt and dust collect in the clothes), cleaning hands and face, cleaning, caring for and covering a wound as quickly as possible - Using good personal protective equipment Personal hygiene measures -

Medical suitability for working with hazardous substances

Measure (ventilation)
