RR172 - The role of occupational exposure limits in the health and safety systems of EU Member States

The study had three main objectives, which were to:

• present a review of current procedures for setting OELs in all EU Member States, including an analysis of their legal status, and their relationship to the IOELV Directive
• undertake a detailed analysis of the methods and practices of the regulatory agencies in several member states on achieving compliance with specific OELs and a discussion of the different meanings associated with compliance with OELs generally
• set these findings in a wider discussion of the role of OELs within the regulation of occupational health and safety management.
