Recital 9
(9) The number of fatalities and non-fatal accidents registered during industrial activities is an indication of inadequate enforcement of the workplace legislation. The exposure to DCM remains high and further risk reduction measures should apply to workers in industrial installations. Preventive measures such as good ventilation of the workplace that meets occupational exposure limits or respiratory protective equipment with an independent air supply, separate ventilated areas for the drying of stripped articles, appropriate personal protective equipment and additional modification of tanks should be adopted.

(9a) In November 2007, the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits recommended limit values for an eight hours Time Weighted Average and for a 15 minute Short Term Exposure Level. It is appropriate to establish these levels as maximum limits that are to be achieved by effective exhaust ventilation for industrial use, without prejudice to any lower levels set pursuant to national legislation.
