I have a similar issue with some MSDS, but then that is why we do a COSHH Assessment, rather than just giving people the MSDS. Incidentally, in some places around the world, such as the USA, that's all that happens, the MSDS is made available. A classic case from last year, I was reviewing the COSH...

Depends how small the small components are. If you are talking electronics or jewellery, then acetone if fine, don't spray it on, either immerse the parts in the liquid rub the surface of the board with a brush and lift it out, shake off any drops back into the tank and close the lid.

Is the production team member in question directly handling the goods, or just in the same room? What is their PPE requirements? As for the WEL's, sorry I can't be of a...

What sort of driving are we talking about? Cars, Vans, HGV's? I did a Google search and read alot of grey information that gives no clear answer. Personally what I would do would be to speak with your insurance company and also check what is in the drivers contracts. I'm not an expert, but just my t...

Within the ACoP there is a flowchart to see if the regulations apply (page 9 of the ACoP). The first item on the flowchart is 'does it contain a relevant liquid?' If not then Regs do not apply, I dont think your machine has a relevant liquid. Thanks for the response Will, I looked into the definiti...

Hello All, At our site we have one of these small air compressors and I am trying to figure out the legal side of required statutory testing. https://www.sgs-engineering.com/sc50h-50-litre-high-flow-air-compressor?gclid=CjwKCAjwvuzkBRAhEiwA9E3FUnftGhVLYkxDELN4OWloiJWBHOBaT4b7R4qMp2GS47vc4oAD8FsQ4BoC...
