The work and leisure environments

Many of the substances used in the workplace are obviously dangerous, but there are many more that are not obviously hazardous. These hazards may be biological, physical or chemical.Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulations (CLP) – in 2009, the European Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures came into force. The CLP Regulations, in conjunction with the Globally Harmonised System (GHS), should ensure that classifying substances and mixtures is easier and cheaper by allowing global flexibility and unification [1].This Regulation should ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment as well as the free movement of chemical substances, mixtures and certain specific articles, while enhancing competitiveness and innovation.(Regulation (EC) 1272/2008)63Globally Harmonised System (GHS) – developed by the United Nations, GHS is a voluntary agreement; for it to become legally binding ‘it has to be adopted through a suitable national or regional legal mechanism’ which is what enables CLP throughout the EU [1].

Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulations (CLP) – In 2009, the European Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures came into force. The CLP Regulations, in conjunction with the United Nations Globally Harmonised System (GHS), should ensure that classifying substances and mixtures is easier and cheaper by allowing global flexibility and unification. The Regulations have been amended and retained in Great British law as GB CLP following the UK’s exit from the EU [1]. Substances and mixtures placed on the market in Northern Ireland however are subject to the EU CLP Regulation (placed on the market includes import into the territory).
Assessment of Chemical Risk in the Work Environment
Published in Małgorzata Pośniak, Emerging Chemical Risks in the Work Environment, 2020
Tier 1 is a qualitative approach to determine the scope of OEB, which can be carried out by occupational medicine doctors. Its rating is based on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) or the European CLP system, sometimes called EU-GHS. Chemicals that have the potential for serious or irreversible health effects at relatively low doses are in the D or E band, while substances that can cause reversible health effects at higher concentrations are in the C band.
Nonlinear ultrasonic characteristics of a corroded steel plate
Published in Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation, 2023
Markus Nilsson, Peter Ulriksen, Nils Rydén
Nuclear power plants (NPPs) provide a significant portion of electricity in our societies. In Sweden, about 30% of the electricity comes from nuclear power [1]. The reactor containment buildings usually consist of one thick heavily reinforced concrete wall, shielding the reactor from an external threat, and a leak-tight steel plate construction called a containment liner plate (CLP) [2,3]. The purpose of the CLP is to stop radioactive particles from contaminating the surrounding environment if an accident occurs. The CLP typically consists of 6–10-mm-thick pressure vessel quality steel plates. CLP inspection can normally be done by visual inspection [2], thermography [4], and conventional thickness gauging using ultrasound. However, in certain NPPs the CLP is embedded in concrete, thus making it inaccessible which makes Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) of the CLP very challenging.
The compaction of waterproof and wear-resistant coal logs using polyvinyl alcohol as binder for transporting in hydraulic pipeline system
Published in International Journal of Coal Preparation and Utilization, 2021

The coal log pipeline (CLP) technology is a new method to transport coal. Firstly the coal particles could be compacted into the waterproof and wear resistant cylinder called “coal logs”. Then, the coal logs are put into the pipeline and conveyed by the liquid carrier (usually water) (Liu et al. 1998, 15). The CLP technology was invented by Liu and Marrero (1990) in 1990. Since 1990, Liu and Marrero (1997, 6) had conducted a series of studies, including the mechanism of hydraulics, the design of transportation pipeline, the compaction of coal logs and the wear experiment of coal logs and so on. Compared with the traditional methods of coal transportation, the CLP technology has several advantages, such as larger coal throughout, lower transportation cost, less pollution, less dependence on weather (Liu and Marrero 1997, 6).
Does REACH provide sufficient information to regulate mutagenic and carcinogenic substances?

The CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) Regulation (CLP regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) ensures that the hazards presented by chemicals are clearly communicated to workers and consumers through classification and labeling of chemicals. Classification and labeling is an important indicator for downstream users to alert them on the presence of dangerous chemicals in their products. Exposure and/or risk assessment is not part of classification and labeling process, these assessments can be a good next step in evaluating the use and use conditions of the substance.
