Content | Problem The most diverse substances, substance mixtures and formulations are encountered at workplaces throughout trade and industry. The employer is obliged to assess the risk to which an employee is exposed during the performance of his or her tasks. Workplace limit values are an important aid for the assessment of risks. Since such limit val- ues do not exist in Germany for all substances, use is also made of limit values from other coun- tries, where available, as a supplementary aid in risk assessment. In the past, it was difficult to ascertain what atmos- pheric limit values, if any, were available for a par- ticular substance in other European countries or, for example, in the USA, since the lists had to be consulted individually. A database was to enable the data to be found more rapidly. Activities A joint project conducted by European OH&S insti- tutes as part of the EU project under the heading “Analytical methods for chemical agents” resulted in the formation of a working group which set itself the objective of compiling an up-to-date overview of the atmospheric limit values. Under the overall responsibility of the IFA, a database was created containing atmospheric limit values from 14 Euro- pean countries and the USA, Canada (Quebec, Ontario), Australia, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Singapore and also the EU limit values. Display of all atmospheric limit values for benzene in the database To date, only atmospheric limit values which are binding in nature in the countries concerned have been gathered. The database is to be extended continually and updated twice a year. Since the beginning of 2012 the database is also available as iOS and Android app for smart- phones. Results and Application The GESTIS International Limit Values database is accessible (in English) to the public at www.dguv.de/ifa/gestis-limit-values.
