Toxicity-Check

Health risks due to hazardous substances have to be assessed and controlled in accordance with COSHH.

Safety data sheets alone are not enough and may have little relevance to the way a substance is actually used or produced in an industrial process.  For example the "substance" may be a mixture such as welding fume.  What are the actual health problems that people have encountered or might encounter and what can be done to control them?
