Hazardous Substances Management
Safe handling of hazardous substances
Working safely with hazardous substances
Working with hazardous substances requires a structured approach. Lexerta helps organizations to systematically identify, assess, and control exposure in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This way, you protect employees, prevent health risks, and are prepared for inspections and audits.
What does the control of hazardous substances entail?
It involves understanding which substances are present within your organization, how employees come into contact with them, and how you can effectively control the risks. This includes both occupational safety and environmental aspects. Without clear policies and oversight, risks may go unnoticed, potentially resulting in incidents or violations.
Exposure controlled and organized in a workable way
Lexerta works together with your team to map out how exposure to hazardous substances can be controlled:
- Inventory and register
All hazardous substances are included in an up-to-date Hazardous Substances Register, including relevant environmental aspects. - Assessment and advice
If limit values are exceeded, our consultants provide practical advice based on the occupational hygiene strategy. This allows immediate measures to be taken or additional measurements to be carried out. - Embedding in processes
We help to anchor the working method in your organization, so that compliance is permanently ensured. - Keeping up-to-date via service contract
Safety data sheets, limit values, and new substances are continuously updated, so you are always up-to-date.
The result provides continuous oversight, demonstrable compliance, and a safe workplace for your employees.
