The guideline is addressed to employers. By way of example it provides guidance and ideas on how to comply with legal stipulations regarding occupational health and safety for air pollutants. A well-structured and documented organization aids in ensuring unimpeded and controllable production processes. Any potential of interference from which risks might ensue must be identified and eliminated in due time. Organizational boundary conditions such as quality assurance and its management, the procurement of materials and ingredients as well as the instruction of personnel are basic prerequisites to safe processes. The generation and release of air pollutants during the production process must be avoided or reduced. Air pollutant concentrations in the air at the workplace can be reduced by preventing or reducing emission and by air-conditioning.
