Contributing activity / technique for the environment

Name of activity / technique:

Formulation including mixing, handling, repacking: Lubricants, greases, release products (PC 24) (ATIEL-ATC Group A)

Environmental release category (ERC):

ERC2: Formulation into mixture

Contributing activity / technique for workers

Contributing activity / technique for workers 1

Name of activity / technique:

Use of the substances in high integrity contained systemwhere little potential exists for exposures, e.g. any sampling via closed loop systems

Process category (PROC):

PROC 1: Chemical production or refinery in closed process without likelihood of exposure or processes with equivalent containment conditions

Contributing activity / technique for workers 2

Name of activity / technique:

Continuous process but where the design philosophy is not spe-cifically aimed at minimizing emissions
It is not high integrity and occasional expose will arise e.g. through maintenance, sampling and equipment breakages

Process category (PROC):

PROC 2: Chemical production or refinery in closed continuous process with occasional controlled exposure or processes with equivalent containment conditions

Contributing activity / technique for workers 3

Name of activity / technique:

Batch manufacture of a chemical or formulation where the pre-dominant handling is in a contained manner, e.g. through en-closed transfers, but where some opportunity for contact with chemicals occurs, e.g. through sampling

Process category (PROC):

PROC 3: Manufacture or formulation in the chemical industry in closed batch processes with occasional controlled exposure or processes with equivalent containment conditions

Contributing activity / technique for workers 4

Name of activity / technique:

Use in batch manufacture of a chemical where significant oppor-tunity for exposure arises, e.g. during charging, sampling or dis-charge of material, and when the nature of the design is likely to result in exposure

Process category (PROC):

PROC 4: Chemical production where opportunity for exposure arises

Contributing activity / technique for workers 5

Name of activity / technique:

Manufacture or formulation of chemical products or articles using technologies related to mixing and blending of solid or liquid ma-terials, and where the process is in stages and provides the op-portunity for significant contact at any stage

Process category (PROC):

PROC 5: Mixing or blending in batch processes

Contributing activity / technique for workers 6

Name of activity / technique:

Sampling, loading, filling, transfer, dumping, bagging in non- dedicated facilities. Exposure related to dust, vapour, aerosols or spillage, and cleaning of equipment to be expected.

Process category (PROC):

PROC 8a: Transfer of substance or mixture (charging and discharging) at non-dedicated facilities

Contributing activity / technique for workers 7

Name of activity / technique:

Sampling, loading, filling, transfer, dumping, bagging in dedicated facilities. Exposure related to dust, vapour, aerosols or spillage, and cleaning of equipment to be expected.

Process category (PROC):

PROC 8b: Transfer of substance or mixture (charging and discharging) at dedicated facilities

Contributing activity / technique for workers 8

Name of activity / technique:

Filling lines specifically designed to both capture vapour and aerosol emissions and minimise spillage

Process category (PROC):

PROC 9: Transfer of substance or mixture into small containers (dedicated filling line, including weighing)

Contributing activity / technique for workers 9

Name of activity / technique:

Use of substances at small scale laboratory (< 1 l or 1 kg present at workplace). Larger laboratories and R+D installations should be treated as industrial processes.

Process category (PROC):

PROC 15: Use as laboratory reagent

Product category formulated:

PC 17: Hydraulic fluids

PC 24: Lubricants, greases, release products

PC 25: Metal working fluids
