UNI EN 689Abstract
The European UNI EN 689:1997 standard, annexed to Legislative Decree 81/08, is a complex statutory law thatis continuously being subjected to relevant changes. Furthermore, National Occupational Hygiene Associations
and international commissions such as the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) and the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) has supported the process for updating the guidance documents in the controlling of the risk at
workplaces. In the recent years, there has been a focus on the assessment of occupational exposure to chemical
agents and the relative compliance with health and safety laws including the occupational exposure limit values
(OELVs). The aim of this investigation is to show how a correct procedure of sampling and analysis could work
more effectively if qualified by preliminary studies. A case study, reported in detail in this communication, pro-
vides a sort of guidance and tools to help “appraisers†understand what they need to do to evaluate correctly the
UNI EN 689 requirements.
