In view of the present and proposed amendments to the Labor Code as well as bearing in mind anticipated harmonization of regulations in this area with those of EEC, the authors emphasize the need for well developed methodology for assessing chemical safety in an occupational environment with special reference to health effects in people exposed to chemicals. Methods for assessing health risk induced by work under conditions of exposure to chemicals were divided into: methods for assessing technological/processing risk, and methods for assessing health risk related to the toxic effect of chemicals. The need for developing means of risk communication in order to secure proper risk perception among people exposed to chemicals and risk managers responsible for prevention against chemical hazards was also stressed. It is suggested to establish a centre for chemical substances in order to settle down all issues pertaining to human exposure to chemicals. The centre would be responsible, under the provisions of the Chemical Substances Act, for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the present situation and for the development of guidelines on assessment of health risk among persons exposed to chemicals.
鉴于《劳动法》目前的修订案以及拟议的修订案，并考虑到该领域法规有望与欧洲经济共同体的法规相协调，作者强调需要有完善的方法来评估职业环境中的化学安全，尤其要关注接触化学品人员的健康影响。评估在接触化学品条件下工作所引发的健康风险的方法分为：评估技术/工艺风险的方法，以及评估与化学品毒性作用相关的健康风险的方法。还强调了开发风险沟通手段的必要性，以便确保接触化学品的人员和负责预防化学危害的风险管理人员能够正确认识风险。建议设立一个化学物质中心，以解决与人类接触化学品有关的所有问题。根据《化学物质法》的规定，该中心将负责对当前状况进行定性和定量分析，并制定评估接触化学品人员健康风险的指导方针。
