Hexavalent Chrome
Monitoring for electrolytic chromium processes has been
legally required for over 30 years. Initially, this required a test
every 14 days of the efficiency of the control measures,
carried out by a responsible person appointed by the factory
occupier. Most companies chose to sample the air above the
plating tank for chromic acid. Monitoring using air sampling
became legally established when the Control of Substances
Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) 1984 replaced the
Chromium Plating Regulations.
The SEA, in association with the Health & Safety Executive, have published 4 guidance documents which, if followed correctly, will enable you to comply with the law and ensure that the health of your employees is protected.
The four guidance documents are:
1 - Monitoring for Electrolytic Hexavalent Chromium Processes
2 - Health Surveillance for Hexavalent Chromium Compounds
3 - Prevention and Control of Exposure to Chromic Acid
4 - Prevention of Exposure and COntrol of Chromic Acid Mist
