The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has produced a series of chemicals podcasts to help those in the industry make the Brexit transition as seamless as possible, all available from January 1st.
Each episode tackles a different sector-specific issue, ranging from biocidal products regulation, prior informed consent, plant protection products, classification, labelling and packaging, and registration, evaluation and authorisation and restriction of chemicals.
Head of chemicals (future readiness) policy with the HSE Dr Matthew Penrose explained that the aim of the programming is to advise and inform those who work with chemicals on a daily basis of the actions they need to take, applicable to both bigger companies and smaller businesses, both of which may be affected by changes to the independent UK chemicals regimes.
“The podcasts complement information that is already available through the HSE website, bringing them to life in a more personal format to suit the needs of the digital age HSE want to provide as much information as possible on the changes to chemicals regulations that will come into place on January 1st.
“Our experts provide insights and answer questions raised by industry voices covering all five chemicals regimes, which should help any business prepare for the end of the UK transition,” he went on to say.
The European Chemicals Agency has just revealed that about 20 per cent of registrations from UK companies to the EU’s REACH chemicals database haven’t been transferred to EU companies, due to be revoked after March 31st this year. This means that registrants will no longer legally be allowed to put the substance on the EU market, according to Euractiv.
