The aims of the Taskforce

• Develop and publish a new evidence-based respiratory health strategy

• Bring organisations and people together in a collective approach to cross-system leadership

• Develop realistic and outcome-driven approaches

• Work with NHS bodies to make the strategy workable

• Actively involve people living with lung disease, their carers and wider stakeholders

Occupational Lung Disease

Bakers Asthma in Supermarket

Scratch Bakeries

Doug Russell

Union of Shop Distributive and Allied Workers 0161249 2441

[email protected] www.usdaw.org.uk/healthandsafety

Bakers’ Asthma

Allergic reaction to flour dust or to

enzymes used as flour improvers

Associated with rhinitis, conjunctivitis

and skin symptoms

Sensitisation can occur at 0.5 to 1.0

mg/m3

In UK the WEL is 10 mg/m3

29/11/2017

13

Where workers are exposed

Plant bakeries and other food

manufacturing Highly automated, lower exposures but still issues e.g. when mixing

ingredients

‘Scratch’ bakeries in larger

supermarkets May be 10,000 workers, batch processing. Higher exposures when

weighing/mixing, shaping rolls and breads, cleaning

Craft bakeries Several thousand, many self-employed, increased demand for

artisanal breads. Likely to have higher exposures to flour dust

Supermarket bakeries

HSE/HSL study of large, medium and small bakeries (3 plant bakeries, 5 25-150 staff, 9 5-25 staff)

Good control and high awareness in plant bakeries

Absence of controls and little awareness of risk in small bakeries

Other study shows prevalence close to 10% in supermarket bakery workers

29/11/2017

14

Some good work in the past

2004-2005: HSE/HSL surveys of flour dusts exposure, prevalence of respiratory disease and awareness amongst industry workers of the risk associated with flour dust and enzymes

2006: HSE Respiratory Disease Programme initiative leading to awareness raising and inspections programme (also involving LA EHOs).

2006: Training initiative for local authority EHOs

2007: HSE/ LACORS ‘In Store’ Bakery initiative

2008: HSE Inspection Topic Pack: Small Bakeries 2 mg/m3 8Hr TWA ‘benchmark’ for control of flour and improver dusts in supermarket bakeries

But what did it achieve?

Unlike other occupational asthmas, the

incidence of bakers asthma increased over

the same period and remains high for retail

bakers

Tripartite meeting in 2008 to agree

standards for control of flour dust in

supermarkets but no clear standards agreed

No evidence of enforcement action or

regulator interventions at present

29/11/2017

15

We know the risks

The average exposure levels in supermarkets

are estimated to be well below the WEL but

there are periods of higher exposure

When emptying flour sacks

Mixing ingredients

Throwing down flour when shaping product

Sweeping up dust

South Africa mixer lid with inlet flap

29/11/2017

16

HSL Exposure visualisation tools

How do we control them?

Engineering controls – LEV, lids on mixers, use of low-dust flour

Safer working practices – handling of flour sacks, use of dredgers to sprinkle flour, use of dividing oil instead of flour, vacuum cleaning

Education and awareness-raising

Stricter WEL to reflect level of risk

Better use of health surveillance to identify local issues

Targeted intervention by LA EHOs

Bob Rajan OBE JP PhD CChem FRSC FFOH SIIRSM

HSE

Early beginnings

• Formulated as a unique way to involve students in understanding the health aspects of the industries in which they were training to work

• The first pilot at South Essex College on paint spraying and isocyanates in the automotive industry

• Further two pilots at Preston’s College and Coleg Gwent on wood dust, RPE and welding. Staff and students were encouraged to share their findings and work on social media #LOcHER

What students and employers gained:

• Confidence

• Employability skills

• Engagement in their own learning process

• Opportunities within the wider health and safety community

• Also: the use of the words health and safety and fun used in

the same sentence

Findings

BAE Systems - Safety Journey




What got my attention

• Statistics show that in 2013/2014 133 workers died in accidents at work and approximately 13,000 people died from work related diseases. Meaning 99% of deaths caused by work can be attributed to ill health

• HSE Strategy

• Conversation with HSE 2014 - what can we do?

• Breathe Freely Campaign construction - simple, powerful messages

• We, BAE Systems, are the largest engineering company in the UK comprising many legacy companies

Health & Safety

• Safety issues tend to be the burning issues

• Injuries are obvious however, long latency health effects aren't

• Safety practitioners are generalists in their field

• They don’t tend to understand hygiene in any detail

• Senior managers only tend to ask about safety

• Therefore safety generally is seen as a priority




• Health seen as surveillance via Occupational Health Department, not control of workplace health risks

• Few (weekly monthly) indicators for Occupational Hygiene, near miss reporting, first aid etc..

• RIDDOR reportable occupational diseases tend to be few and far between

• All assessments in place; monitoring and statutory checks OK

• So we haven't got a problem!

Discussion with the Board

• Significant health Risks

• Carcinogens, Mutagens, Reprotoxins, and Sensitisers

• Not COSHH!

• The strategic aim is to systematically move up the hierarchy of controls to remove our employees from risk to their health, with a drive towards moving away from the need to use Personal Protective Equipment

“We aspire to create a workplace where our employees have no direct exposure to carcinogens, reprotoxins, mutagens and sensitisers”




Carcinogens, Mutagens, Reprotoxins, Sensitisers

Trichloroethylene degreasing

Chromated primers spraying / touch up

Chromic acid treatment bath / touch up

Cadmium Oxide corrosion (mutagen) Leksol degreasing / cold cleaning

Chrome VI treatment bath / touch up

Chromated Primer Sanding

CN20 Gun wash solvent (Teratogen)

Nickel drilling/countersinking of carbon

Epoxy resin adhesives / fillers

Metalworking fluids / coolants

Welding / Soldering

Focus Areas

• Health Risk Management Strategy

• Health Steering Board

• Deployed Health Risk Leading Indicators – mix of strategic and operationally specific

• Training for SHE generalists

• Running BOHS certificate in house to enhance core skills x 14 new Occupational Hygienists

• Moving towards Hygienists becoming the Strategist, specialist advisors rather than measurers!

• Assurance to the ‘more competent’ SHE generalists

• Identified top ten hazardous substances, carcinogens, mutagens, reprotoxins, sensitisers

• Detailed risk assessments

• Comprehensive awareness sessions to convey health effects, controls required and how to use, monitoring? health surveillance?




• Partnering with BOHS, EEF, HSE and other industries to facilitate campaign

• Support working group to develop material and guidance

• Provide speakers for roadshows

Breathe Freely

29/11/2017

Summary

• SHE community tend to overlook or underestimate the health risks

• Health for many is seen as health surveillance and wellbeing – not risk management

• Subjects like COSHH can be seen in some areas to be too big and in other areas quite trivial

• Hazardous substances such as CARCINOGENS, MUTAGENS, REPROTOXINS and SENSITISERS get management attention

• Create a high impact campaign

• It’s not a numbers game…accidents

• It’s about identifying and articulating health risk

• Think ALARP – not only “measurement below WEL”

• More focus on Occupational Hygiene strategy, communication, raising awareness and overall competency
