Action needed

A report by the HSE has found that around 8000 people are dying each year from occupational cancers, many caused by encountering hazardous substances at work.

The COSHH Regulations 2002 provide legislation that must be complied with by all companies throughout the EU, but Castle Group believes that very often to really deal with the problem means taking action over and above the requirements of the law.

The company offers straightforward solutions that include training courses, sampling equipment and personal monitors.

Simon Bull, MD, says: "People often seem to think air-sampling is difficult, but we can show them that this is not the case. Companies need to embrace this subject if we are to have a hope of saving lives in the future."
