This paper explains the occupational hygiene basis of a new scheme to help small firms control the health risks from supplied chemicals. The scheme groups hazard information and the potential for a material to become airborne into bands and, from this information, predicts the control strategy necessary to ensure that the hazardous substance is used safely. To do this a simple model based upon an empirical approach to risk assessment and risk management has been developed. This work was undertaken in a working group established by the Health and Safety Commission's Advisory Committee on Toxic Substances.
本文阐述了一项新计划的职业卫生基础，该计划旨在帮助小企业控制所供应化学品带来的健康风险。该计划将危害信息以及物质变成空气传播的可能性进行分类，并根据这些信息预测确保安全使用有害物质所需的控制策略。为此，已开发出一个基于经验性风险评估和风险管理方法的简单模型。这项工作是在健康与安全委员会有毒物质咨询委员会设立的一个工作组中开展的。
