In the UK a list of occupational exposure limits is published by the HSE in Guidance Note EH40, which is updated annually. There are two kinds of occupational exposure limits maximum exposure limits (MELs) and occupational exposure standards (OESs). For substances which have been assigned a MEL, the level of exposure should be reduced so far as is reasonably practicable and in any case should not exceed the MEL. For substances which have been assigned... [Pg.43]

The HSE guidance notes that there is not necessarily a strong relationship between the amoimt of lead the body absorbs and the concentration of lead-inair (p. 8). Medical surveillance is required for those who have significant air lead exposures. If an employee s BLL exceeds the action level (see below), the... [Pg.40]

The HSE Guidance Note GS 38 tells us about suitable test probe leads. Use a sketch to identify the main recommendations. [Pg.59]

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has published a guidance note (GS 38) which advises electricians and other electrically competent people on the selection of suitable test probes, voltage-indicating devices and measuring instruments. This is because they consider suitably constructed test equipment to be as vital for personal safety as the training and practical skills of the electrician. In the past, unsatisfactory test probes and voltage indicators have frequently been the cause of accidents, and therefore all test probes must now incorporate the following features ... [Pg.298]

The test instruments and test leads used by the electrician for testing an electrical installation must meet all the requirements of the relevant regulations. The HSE has published guidance note GS 38 for test equipment used by electricians. The IET Regulations (BS 7671) also specify the test voltage or current required to carry out particular tests satisfactorily. All test equipment must be chosen to comply with the relevant parts of BS EN 61557. All testing must, therefore, be carried out using an approved test instrument if the test results are to be valid. The test instrument must also carry a calibration certificate, otherwise the recorded results may be void. Calibration certificates usually last for a year. Test instruments must, therefore, be tested and recalibrated each year by an approved supplier. This will maintain the accuracy of the instrument to an acceptable level, usually within 2% of the true value. [Pg.303]

The test device must incorporate fused test leads to comply with HSE Guidance Note GS 38, Electrical Test Equipment Used by Electricians. Electrical isolation of supplies is further discussed in Chapter 3 of this book. [Pg.39]

Using an approved voltmeter or test lamp and probes which comply with the HSE Guidance Note GS38, again carry out a polarity test to verify that all fuses, circuit breakers and switches are connected in the live conductor. Test from the common terminal of switches to earth, the live pin of each socket outlet to earth and the centre pin of any Edison screw lampholders to earth. In each case the voltmeter or test lamp should indicate the supply voltage for a satisfactory result. [Pg.369]
