Directive 2004/37/EC, known as the Carcinogens and Mutagens Directive, is an important legislation enacted to protect workers from exposure to carcinogenic and mutagenic substances in the workplace.
The Directive aims to safeguard the health and safety of workers by reducing their exposure to substances that are known or suspected to cause cancer or mutations in human cells. It sets legal limits on the concentration of these hazardous substances and defines measures that employers must take to protect their workers.
