MC0: Advice for managers

Advice for managers

This information will help managers to comply with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH), as amended, to control exposure and protect workers' health.

MC1: Wet etch processing

Wet etch processing

This sheet describes good practice using containment where possible, or engineering control (local extraction or an extracted booth). It covers the points you need to follow to reduce exposure to an adequate level. It is important to follow all the points, or use equally effective measures.

MC2: Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)

Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)

This sheet describes good practice using containment, with extraction for product removal, and covers the points you need to follow to reduce exposure to an adequate level. It covers daily and weekly routine tasks of operation and maintenance. It does not cover major maintenance tasks or decommissioning of used equipment. It is important to follow all the points on the sheet, or use equally effective measures.
