Some inhalable exposures at work are made up of a large variety of different causative agents. Metal Working Fluids are a good example, which can be complex mixtures of oils, emulsifiers, anti-weld agents, corrosion inhibitors, extreme pressure additives, buffers (alkaline reserve), biocides, and other additives. In many cases working out the exact causative agent for a worker is impractical / impossible.
The agents in this section are all a mixture of other agents.
Oasys Notifications for Conglomerates
The Oasys Audit scheme started midway through 2010 and collects agents typed in through the Oasys program. The years before 2010 show old data entered during 2010 or later and are likely to have many fewer notifications. We expect Oasys to become more widely adopted as time goes by so increasing notifications does not necessarily mean an increasing problem.
