HSE Inspections Tackling Exposure To Flour Dust In Bakeries

HSE is currently carrying out a series of inspections at large bakeries across Great Britain.

Inspectors are checking that employers are protecting workers from flour dust – one of the most common causes of occupational asthma in the country.
Inspectors will assess compliance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH), focusing on whether employers have implemented effective controls to manage exposure.
