| Content | 0021 Edition 11/2010 617.0-IFA:638.1 Measurement system for exposure assessment (MGU) Problem Activities involving hazardous substances and noise exposure are encountered to varying degrees at many workplaces in virtually all sec- tors. A range of actions by the legislator, the Ger- man Social Accident Insurers, and also manufac- turers and users are aimed at replacing hazardous substances with less hazardous substitutes, orga- nizing safer working practices, and taking effective prevention measures. The German Social Accident Insurers support employers in fulfilling their duty to protect employ- ees against hazardous substances and noise exposure. They are also obliged to act as an inspectorate. In this capacity, they measure the presence and concentration of hazardous sub- stances under Part VII (19)1,5 of the German Social Code, in order to identify and assess haz- ards and to propose or order measures where applicable. Activities In the early 1970s, the system to determine data on workplace exposure to hazardous substances was developed in conjunction with the institutions for statutory accident insurance and prevention for the industrial sector (BGs). This co-operation was later made subject to a binding code of procedure within the MGU system of exposure assessment (formerly the BGMG) of the German Social Accident Insurance Institutions. Scope of the MGU In 1999, all parties involved implemented a uni- form quality management system. Performance of the procedure, definition of responsibilities, and the measures for continual improvement are set out in detail. Measurements of hazardous substances, biologi- cal agents and noise are now conducted jointly by the IFA, the metrological services of the Social Accident Insurance Institutions and the umbrella association of the agricultural social insurers. Approximately 28,000 measurements are con- ducted every year in over 4,000 companies within the MGU. These produce over 100,000 measured values for hazardous chemical substances and biological agents. Noise measurements are con- ducted annually at around 20,000 measurement points in approximately 1,000 companies. |
