In response to concern about AIDS and other communicable diseases among firefighters and other emergency response workers, USFA held a Forum addressing issues related to communicable disease. Representatives from the USFA Office of Firefighter Health and Safety, emergency medical and infection control experts, fire service professionals and legal experts spent three days sharing information, exploring salient issues and recommending steps first-responder organizations can take to meet the needs of their constituencies. These recommendations are outlined in the report.
The main scope of this sixth Forum REACH-EN-FORCE (REF) project was classification and labelling of mixtures. The project also included additional optional modules for Classification, labelling, and packaging (CLP) Regulation exemptions from labelling and packaging requirements, harmonised classification and labelling of substances, specific rules applicable to Liquid Laundry Detergent Capsules (LLDC) and the enforcement of biocides. The aim of the project was to check compliance and to raise awareness, by investigating and enforcing a variety of legal provisions in CLP, the most relevant stipulated in Articles 4, 37 17, 29 and 35 of CLP, Article 31 of REACH and Articles 17 and 69 of Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), with a special focus on classification and labelling of mixtures. The 'main module' on classification and labelling of mixtures was obligatory but it was for each participating country to decide whether they wanted to check any of the four optional modules. Any mixture classified as hazardous could be chosen to be checked and reported. Classification of mixtures using bridging principles for the classification, or mixtures where test data are not available for the complete mixture, and cases related to extreme pH were outside the scope of the project. The companies inspected for the project were manufacturers, importers, downstream users or distributors of mixtures. In the project for the classification and labelling of mixtures, 28 countries reported on 1620 inspected companies in which 3391 mixtures where checked. The results from these inspections as well as from inspections regarding the optional modules are given in this report. The working group who developed the manual and report of the project consisted of members and experts from both the Forum and the Forum Subgroup for Biocides (BPRS). This was the first joint project between the Forum and its BPRS subgroup.
