This Directive is an individual Directive within the
meaning
of Council Directive
16(1)
89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of
measures to encourage improvements in the safety and
health of workers at work (5). Therefore the provisions
of that Directive are fully applicable to the exposure of
workers to carcinogens or mutagens, without prejudice
to more stringent and/or specific provisions contained in
this Directive.

A consistent level of protection from the risks related to
carcinogens or mutagens has to be established for the
Community as a whole and that level of protection has
to be set not by detailed prescriptive requirements but
by a framework of general principles to enable Member
States to apply the minimum requirements consistently.

Germ cell mutagens are substances that can cause a
permanent change in the amount or structure of the
genetic material of a cell resulting in a change in the
phenotypic characteristics of that cell, which may be
transferred to descendent daughter cells.

CHAPTER I

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Article 1

Objective

(11) Although current scientific knowledge is not such that a
level can be established below which risks to health
cease to exist, a reduction in exposure to carcinogens or
mutagens will nonetheless reduce those risks.

1.
This Directive has as its aim the protection of workers
against risks to their health and safety, including the prevention
of such risks, arising or likely to arise from exposure to carci-
nogens or mutagens at work.

(12)

In order to contribute to a reduction in these risks, limit
values and other directly related provisions should be
established for all those carcinogens or mutagens for
which the available information, including scientific and
technical data, make this possible.

(13) Occupational exposure limit values must be regarded as
an important component of the general arrangements
for the protection of workers. Such limit values must be
revised whenever this becomes necessary in the light of
more recent scientific data.

(14)

The precautionary principle should be applied in the
protection of workers' health.

(1) OJ 196, 16.8.1967, p. 1. Directive as last amended by Regulation

(EC) No 807/2003 (OJ L 122, 16.5.2003, p. 36).

(2) OJ L 200, 30.7.1999, p. 1. Directive as last amended by Regulation

(EC) No 1882/2003.

It lays down particular minimum requirements in this area,
including limit values.

2.
This Directive shall not apply to workers exposed only to
radiation covered by the Treaty establishing the European
Atomic Energy Community.

3.
Directive 89/391/EEC shall apply fully to the whole area
referred to in paragraph 1, without prejudice to more stringent
and/or specific provisions contained in this Directive.

As regards asbestos, which is dealt with by Directive

as a category 1 or 2 carcinogen set out in Annex VI to
Directive 67/548/EEC;

(ii) a preparation composed of one or more substances
referred to in point (i) where the concentration of one
or more of the individual substances meets the require-
ments for concentration limits for the classification of
a preparation as a category 1 or 2 carcinogen set out
either:

— in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC, or

— in Part B of Annex II to Directive 1999/45/EC
where the substance or substances do not appear
in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC or appear in it
without concentration limits;

(iii) a substance, preparation or process referred to in
Annex I to this Directive as well as a substance or
preparation released by a process referred to in that
Annex;

(b) ‘mutagen’ means:

(i) a substance which meets the criteria for classification as
a category 1 or 2 mutagen set out in Annex VI to
Directive 67/548/EEC;

(ii) a preparation composed of one or more substances
referred to in point (i) where the concentration of one
or more of the individual substances meets the require-
ments for concentration limits for the classification of a
preparation as a category 1 or 2 mutagen set out in
either:

— Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC, or

— Part B of Annex II to Directive 1999/45/EC where

Article 3

Scope — determination and assessment of risks

1.
This Directive shall apply to activities in which workers
are or are likely to be exposed to carcinogens or mutagens as a
result of their work.

2.
In the case of any activity likely to involve a risk of expo-
sure to carcinogens or mutagens, the nature, degree and dura-
tion of workers' exposure shall be determined in order to make
it possible to assess any risk to the workers' health or safety
and to lay down the measures to be taken.

The assessment shall be renewed regularly and in any event
when any change occurs in the conditions which may affect
workers' exposure to carcinogens or mutagens.

The employer shall supply the authorities responsible at their
request with the information used for making the assessment.

3. When assessing the risk, account shall be taken of all
other routes of exposure, such as absorption into and/or
through the skin.

4. When the risk assessment is carried out, employers shall
give particular attention to any effects concerning the health or
safety of workers at particular risk and shall, inter alia, take
account of the desirability of not employing such workers in
areas where they may come into contact with carcinogens or
mutagens.

CHAPTER II

EMPLOYERS' OBLIGATIONS

Article 4

Reduction and replacement

1.
The employer shall reduce the use of a carcinogen or
mutagen at the place of work, in particular by replacing it, in
so far as is technically possible, by a substance, preparation or
process which, under its conditions of use, is not dangerous or
is less dangerous to workers' health or safety, as the case may
be.

The employer shall, upon request, submit the findings of

2.
his investigations to the relevant authorities.

Article 5

Prevention and reduction of exposure

1. Where the results of the assessment referred to in Article
3(2) reveal a risk to workers' health or safety, workers' exposure

Article 8

Foreseeable exposure

For certain activities such as maintenance, in respect of
1.
which it is foreseeable that there is the potential for a signifi-
cant increase in exposure of workers, and in respect of which
all scope for further technical preventive measures for limiting
workers' exposure has already been exhausted, the employer
shall determine, after consultation of the workers and/or their
representatives in the undertaking or establishment, without
prejudice to the employer's responsibility, the measures neces-
sary to reduce the duration of workers' exposure to the
minimum possible and to ensure protection of workers while
they are engaged in such activities.

Pursuant to the first subparagraph, the workers concerned shall
be provided with protective clothing and individual respiratory
protection equipment which they must wear as long as the
abnormal exposure persists; that exposure may not be perma-
nent and shall be kept to the strict minimum of time necessary
for each worker.

3.
which is suspected to be the result of exposure to carcinogens
or mutagens, the doctor or authority responsible for the health
surveillance of workers may require other workers who have
been similarly exposed to undergo health surveillance.

In that event, a reassessment of the risk of exposure shall be
carried out in accordance with Article 3(2).

4.
In cases where health surveillance is carried out, an indivi-
dual medical record shall be kept and the doctor or authority
responsible for health surveillance shall propose any protective
or preventive measures to be taken in respect of any individual
workers.

5.
Information and advice must be given to workers
regarding any health surveillance which they may undergo
following the end of exposure.

6.

In accordance with national laws and/or practice:

— workers shall have access to the results of

the health

surveillance which concern them, and

— the workers concerned or the employer may request a

review of the results of the health surveillance.

Practical recommendations for the health surveillance of
