PURPOSE: to improve the protection of workers from the risks associated with exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work.
LEGISLATIVE ACT: Directive (EU) 2019/130 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2004/37/EC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work.
CONTENT: the Directive amends Directive 2004/37/EC by introducing exposure limit values for 8 additional carcinogens or mutagens in order to better protect workers at EU level. It is a question of:
emissions from diesel engines, mineral oils that have previously been used in internal combustion engines, trichloroethylene, 4,4′-methylenedianiline, epichlorohydrin, ethylene dibromide, ethylene dichloride and mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, in particular those containing benzo[a]pyrene.
The revision is based on the opinions of the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits to Chemical Agents (SCOEL) and the Advisory Committee on Safety and Health at Work (ACSH).
Limit values
Exhaust gases from diesel engines: the Directive sets an occupational exposure limit value in Annex III of 50µg/m³ (0.05mg/m³) calculated on the basis of elemental carbon. The limit value will apply from 21 February 2023. For underground mining and tunnel excavation, the limit value shall apply from 21 February 2026. Mineral oils: the Directive establishes a ‘Skin’ notion for oils that have previously been used in internal combustion engines to lubricate and cool moving parts of the engine, indicating the possibility of significant absorption of the substance through the skin. Dermal exposure may be limited by the implementation of good practices, including the use of personal protective equipment, such as gloves. Trichloroethylene: workers' exposure to this substance should be limited to 54.7 mg/m3 over a long period of time and 164.1 mg/m3 over a short period of time. A ‘Skin’ notion indicating the possibility of significant dermal absorption of the substance is established. Epichlorohydrin: exposure should be limited to 1.9 mg/m3. A ‘Skin’ notion indicating the possibility of significant dermal absorption is established. Ethylene dichloride: the Directive establishes an exposure limit value of 8.2 mg/m3 and a ‘Skin’ notion. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons mixtures, in particular those containing benzo[a]pyrene, are carcinogenic within the meaning of Directive 2004/37/EC. Exposure to such mixtures may occur during work involving burning processes, such as from combustion engine exhaust, and high temperature combustion processes, among others.
Agreements between social partners
The Directive provides that any agreements between the social partners concluded in the field covered by the Directive must be listed on the website of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). Their list should be regularly updated.
Revision
No later than in the first quarter of 2019, the Commission, taking into account the latest developments in scientific knowledge, shall assess the option of amending the scope of Directive 2004/37/EC to include reprotoxic substances. On that basis, the Commission should present a legislative proposal, if appropriate, after consulting management and labour.
The Directive also emphasises the importance of protecting workers who are exposed to carcinogens or mutagens resulting from:
the preparation, management or disposal of hazardous drugs, including cytostatic or cytotoxic drugs, and work involving exposure to carcinogens or mutagens through the cleaning, transport, laundering and disposal of hazardous drugs or equipment contaminated with hazardous drugs, as well as through personal care of patients whose treatment includes the use of hazardous drugs.
ENTRY INTO FORCE: 20.2.2019.
TRANSPOSITION: no later than 20.2.2021.
The European Parliament adopted by 585 votes to 46, with 35 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2004/37/EC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work.
The European Parliament’s position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure amended the Commission proposal as follows:
Diesel engine exhaust : the amended text added to Annex I of Directive 2004/37/EC the work involving exposure to such exhaust gases and set an occupational exposure limit value in Annex III of 50µg/m³ (0.05mg/m³) calculated on the basis of elemental carbon.
The limit value shall apply from four years after the date of entry into force of this amending directive. For underground mining and tunnel construction the limit value shall apply from seven years after the date of entry into force of this amending directive.
In a recital, it is recalled that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which has classified diesel engine exhaust emissions as carcinogenic to humans (category 1), has clarified that, while the amount of particulates and chemicals are reduced in the newer types of diesel engines, it is not yet clear how the quantitative and qualitative changes will translate into altered health effects.
Mineral oils : it is proposed to include in Annex I to Directive 2004/37/EC work exposed to mineral oils that have previously been used in internal combustion engines to lubricate and cool moving parts of the engine and to include in Annex III to that Directive a 'skin' notation indicating the possibility of significant absorption through the skin.
To limit dermal exposure, a range of best practices can be used, including the use of personal protective equipment, such as gloves, and the removal and cleaning of contaminated clothing. Strict compliance with these practices, as well as newly emerging best practices, could help reduce this exposure.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons mixtures (PAHs) : these mixtures, in particular those containing benzo[a]pyrene, are carcinogenic within the meaning of Directive 2004/37/EC. Exposure to such mixtures may occur during work involving burning processes, such as from combustion engine exhaust, and high temperature combustion processes, among others. The Advisory Committee on Safety and Health at Work (ACSH) identified the possibility of significant uptake through the skin for those mixtures and the ACSH agreed on the importance of introducing an occupational exposure limit value for PAHs mixtures and has recommended carrying out work to evaluate the scientific aspects with a view to proposing an occupational exposure limit value in the future. It is therefore proposed to assign in Annex III to Directive 2004/37/EC a 'skin' notation indicating the possibility of significant absorption through the skin.
Further investigations should also be carried out to assess whether it is necessary to set a limit value for PAHs mixtures in order to better protect workers from those mixtures.
Agreements between social partners : any agreements between social partners concluded in the field covered by the Directive shall be listed on the website of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). Their list shall be updated regularly.
Revision : no later than in the first quarter of 2019, the Commission, taking into account the latest developments in scientific knowledge, should assess the option of amending the scope of Directive 2004/37/EC to include reprotoxic substances . On that basis, the Commission should present a legislative proposal, if appropriate, after consulting management and labour.
The amended text also underlined the importance:
of protecting workers exposed to carcinogenic or mutagenic substances resulting from the preparation, administration or disposal of hazardous drugs , including cytostatic or cytotoxic drugs; and from work involving exposure to carcinogenic or mutagenic substances in cleaning, transport, laundry and waste disposal of hazardous drugs or materials contaminated by hazardous drugs.
The guidelines published by the Commission to reduce occupational health and safety risks in the healthcare sector shall be without prejudice to possible further legislative proposals or other initiatives.
The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs adopted the report by Claude ROLIN (EPP, BE) on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2004/37/EC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work.
The committee recommended that the European Parliament’s position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the Commission proposal as follows:
Diesel engine exhaust : Members proposed including in Annex I work involving exposure to such exhaust gases and setting an occupational exposure limit value in Annex III of 50µg/m³ (0.05 mg/m³) calculated on the basis of elemental carbon. They recommended considering emissions from all diesel engines, without distinguishing between them.
By 30 June 2019, the Commission shall, after consulting the Member States and the social partners, assess the need to modify the limit values for diesel engine exhaust emissions. The Commission shall propose, where appropriate, necessary amendments related to that process.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : in the forthcoming evaluation of the implementation of the Directive, the Commission shall also examine the possibility of extending entry 2 in the Annex I to cover work involving burning processes and high temperature combustion processes and to set a limit value for benzo[a]pyrene in order better to protect workers from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons mixtures.
Members proposed to extend the ‘skin notation’ to all polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures.
Social partners' agreements : the Commission shall encourage the social partners to conclude social dialogue agreements providing guidance and tools to support the effective implementation of the employers' obligations laid down in this Directive. Those agreements shall be listed in Annex IVa. That list shall be regularly updated.
In addition, Members proposed that Member States shall communicate to the Commission the national law and practices that ensure that their competent authorities have a sufficient number of trained staff and other resources necessary to carry out their tasks related to proper and effective implementation of this Directive.
Long-term process : the amended text stressed that this Directive, which amends Directive 2004/37/EC, is a further step in a longer process to update that Directive.
Further amendments to that Directive shall address the issue of exposure of workers to carcinogenic or mutagenic substances resulting from the preparation, administration or disposal of hazardous drugs , including cytotoxic drugs, and work involving exposure to carcinogenic or mutagenic substances in cleaning, transport, laundry and waste disposal of hazardous drugs of materials contaminated by hazardous drugs and in personal care for patients under treatment of hazardous drugs.
PURPOSE: to make technical amendments to Directive 2004/37/EC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work.
PROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: according to latest statistics, cancer is the first cause of work-related deaths in the EU (annually, 53 % of occupational deaths are attributed to cancer, notably caused by exposure to carcinogenic substances at work). It is estimated that every hour in EU, between 7-12 people die of cancer because of past exposure to carcinogenic substances at work. The Commission took a first step to address these issues by adopting on 13 May 2016 a legislative proposal to amend Directive 2004/37/EC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work with a view to revise or to introduce exposure limit values for 13 chemical agents.
It is now proposed to establish new limit values and/or skin notations for 7 more carcinogens .
This is estimated to result in increased protection for at least 4 million workers and improved clarity for employers and enforcers. Together it is estimated that both proposals would prevent over 100 000 deaths caused by work-related cancer.
IMPACT ASSESSMENT: this proposal is supported by an impact assessment which compared the social, economic and environmental impacts of a number of different options envisaged for each chemical agent analysed. The preferred option was the one which took account of the following criteria:
the scientific information (in particular the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits recommendations (SCOEL)), effectiveness, efficiency and coherence.
Cost and benefits were calculated over a 60-year period , in line with the future cancer burden estimated over the same period, to take proper account of the cancer latency period.
CONTENT: the proposed Directive sets a number of general minimum requirements to eliminate or reduce exposure for all carcinogens and mutagens falling under its scope .
M inimum requirements of exposure limits : in line with the proposal, employers must identify and assess risks to workers associated with exposure to specific carcinogens (and mutagens) at the workplace, and must prevent exposure where risks occur. Substitution with a non or less-hazardous process or chemical agent is required where this is technically possible. Where substitution is not technically possible chemical carcinogens must, as far as it is technically possible, be manufactured and used in a closed system to prevent exposure .
Where this is not technically possible, worker exposure must be reduced to as low a level as is technically possible (this is the minimisation obligation under the Directive).
Exposure limits : in addition to these general minimum requirements, the Directive clearly indicates that the setting of occupational exposure limit values for the inhalation route of exposure for particular carcinogens and mutagens is an integral part of the mechanism for protecting workers. Those values still need to be set for the chemical agents for which no such values exist and be revised whenever this becomes possible in the light of more recent scientific data.
Occupational exposure limit values set out in Annex III of the Directive should, when appropriate, be revised to take into account new scientific data.
On this basis, it is proposed to take two specific measures:
include in Annex I to the Directive work involving exposure to oils that have been used before in internal combustion engines to lubricate and cool the moving parts within the engine and establish a corresponding skin notation in Part B of Annex III to the Directive (used engine oils); establish in Annex III limit values supplemented by skin notations for further 5 additional carcinogens, as well as skin notations independently of limit values for 2 carcinogens, including for mineral oils as used engine oils (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons mixtures which contain benzo[a]pyrene).

Amendment 10 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 (1) Directive 2004/37/EC aims to protect workers against risks to their health and safety from exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at the workplace and lays down minimum requirements to that effect including limit values, on the basis of the available scientific and technical data. In accordance with the principles of better law-making, a uniform appraisal approach on the basis of a risk assessment should be adopted at EU level.
Amendment 11 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 (1) Directive 2004/37/EC aims to protect workers against risks to their health and safety from exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at the workplace and lays down minimum requirements to that effect including limit values, on the basis of the available scientific and technical data. The Commission should ensure uniform compliance by the Member States with the limits regarding exposure of workers to carcinogens.
Amendment 12 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 (1) Directive 2004/37/EC aims to protect workers, including professional users, trainees and apprentices, against risks to their health and safety from exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at the workplace and lays down minimum requirements to that effect including limit values, on the basis of the available scientific and technical data.
Amendment 13 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 a (new) (1a) Directive 2004/37/EC should be amended to strengthen health surveillance. Due to the lack of consistent data on substance exposure, it is necessary to protect exposed workers and professional users or workers and professional users who are at risk of exposure by enforcing mandatory health surveillance, rather than surveying only when it is deemed to be necessary. Due to the gaps in data collection it is not clear when health surveillance is to be deemed to be necessary. It would therefore be prudent to ensure mandatory life-long health surveillance for all exposed workers and professional users.
Amendment 14 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 b (new) (1b) Appropriate and consistent data collection by Member States is necessary to improve and ensure safety and proper care for workers and professional users. The Commission should support best practice exercises on data collection between Member States and propose how data collection can be improved. The Commission should also require Member States to provide it with information for the purposes of its reports on the implementation of Directive 2004/37/EC.
Amendment 15 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 c (new) (1c) The burden of proof should not be on the victims of the exposure to carcinogens, mutagens and reprotoxins. Instead, wider rights for workers and professional users to claim compensation should be established. Member States should, as soon as possible, introduce into their national laws, regulations or administrative, provisions concerning scientifically recognised occupational diseases that give rise to compensation, and the right of a worker or a professional user to claim compensation in respect of the occupational diseases based on the Commission Recommendation C(2003) 3297 of 19 September 2003 concerning the European schedule of occupational diseases. Insurance and compensation entities should adopt a harmonised approach to the recognition of and compensation for diseases resulting from exposure to carcinogens, mutagens and reprotoxins at work.
Amendment 16 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 2 (2) For some carcinogens and mutagens it is necessary to consider other absorption pathways, including the possibility of penetration through the skin, in order to ensure the best possible level of protection. Information of workers regarding the risks of exposure to carcinogens and mutagens and programmes to raise awareness of the need for strict safety standards at the workplace help mitigate the risks of exposure to these substances.

Amendment 20 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 (8) 4,4'-Methylenedianiline (MDA) meets the criteria for classification as carcinogenic (category 1B) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and therefore is a carcinogen as defined in Directive 2004/37/EC.
Amendment 21 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 (11) Ethylene dichloride (1,2- dichloroethane, EDC) meets the criteria for classification as carcinogenic (category 1B) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and therefore is a carcinogen as defined in Directive 2004/37/EC.
Amendment 22 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 15 (15) The limit values established in this Directive will be kept under review in the light of the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC58 and of the opinions of the ECHA Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) and Socio-economic Analysis Committee (SEAC), and of the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, in particular to take account of the interaction between limit values established in Directive 2004/37/EC and dose-response relations, actual exposure information, and, where available, DNELs (Derived No Effect Levels) derived for hazardous chemicals in
Amendment 23 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 16 (16) Since the objectives of this Directive, which are to improve living and working conditions and to protect the health of workers, including farmers and agricultural workers, from the specific risks arising from exposure to carcinogens, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5(3) of the Treaty on European Union. As a part of these measures the Commission should consider creating an expert panel to harmonise at the EU-level the minimum requirements and limit values in order to avoid unfair competition between among member states jeopardising workers' health and safety. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in Article 5(4) of the TEU, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
