The basis for the HSE CK estimate is documented by Lomax (2004). Lomax based the estimate on the WWII era University of Chicago research  

The UK AC human LCtgo estimate (developed for offensive operations) was likely based upon the mammal with the greatest inhalation resistance to AC, the monkey, as determined by Barcroft (1923,1931).

To demonstrate the general procedure in applying TNT-equivalency methods in this work, one of the many methods, namely, that recommended by the UK Health Safety Executive (HSE 1979 HSE 1986), is followed. Note that this is only one of many variations on the basic TNT-equivalency method see Chapter 4 for a review of others.

Hydrocarbon based solvents have a valuable role in many industrial processes. However, a well-known hazard of many hydrocarbon solvents is their flammability, but they can also have damaging effects on the environment and harm human health. Emphasis is placed on the latter. Some of the ill health effects are described together with how solvents users can get information on these the UK approach to control, including the role of occupational exposure limits a comparison of UK limits with those in other EU Member States and finally a new approach taken by the UK Health Safety Executive to help companies control health risks. 6 refs. 

This small article reports that the UK Health Safety Executive has published its latest (and restructured) list of new occupational exposure standards. Some of the polymer additives which are mentioned in the list are highlighted. UK,HEALTH SAFETY EXECUTIVE... 

The Hull site produces organic acids and derivatives. As part of an initiative launched by the UK Health Safety Executive the site developed a number of Process Safety Performance Indicators (PSPl) in accordance with the Health Safety Executives guidance document HSG 254, which describes a process for the development of PSPI at an individual plant level. This document describes how that activity was undertaken and the subsequent learning s from the process together with the planned wider rollout. 

UK Occupational Exposure Limits are taken from EH40/95, published by the UK Health Safety Executive. Those marked with an are internal company guidelines. 

Safety. Most countries have government guidelines on safe handling and use of chemicals, such as UK Health Safety Executive COSHH (control of substances hazardous to health), which is more focused on exposure risk. This can cause problems, such as when HSE issued a chemical alert about glutaraldehyde, and its potential for causing respiratory sensitisation. Immediately, several customers asked to change from glutaraldehyde to a different chemistry.

The UK Health Safety Executive has developed a risk assessment computer model for toxic incidents, RISKRAT. This includes the consideration of evasive actions (while not presently available publicly, it is described by Pape and Nussey, 1985). 

In the last three decades, stimulated by public reaction and health and safety legislation, the use of risk and reliability assessment methods has spread from the higher risk industries to an even wider range of applications. The Reactor Safety Study undertaken by the U.S.A (U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission (1975)) and the Canvey studies performed by the UK Health Safety Executive (HSE (1978, 1981a,b)) resulted from a desire to demonstrate safety to a doubtful public. Both these studies made considerable use of quantitative methods, for assessing the likelihood of failures and for determining consequence models.
