Le Parlement europ\u00e9en a approuv\u00e9 en s\u00e9ance pl\u00e9ni\u00e8re la sixi\u00e8me r\u00e9vision de la directive sur les agents canc\u00e9rig\u00e8nes ou mutag\u00e8nes et les substances reprotoxiques (DCMR), d\u00e9j\u00e0 objet d\u2019un accord provisoire avec le Conseil. Le texte a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9 par 499 voix pour, 49 contre et 104 abstentions. Cette r\u00e9vision fixe de nouvelles valeurs limites d\u2019exposition professionnelle pour plusieurs substances chimiques dangereuses, sur la base des donn\u00e9es scientifiques les plus r\u00e9centes.<\/p>\n
Sont notamment vis\u00e9s le cobalt et les compos\u00e9s inorganiques du cobalt, utilis\u00e9s dans la production de batteries, les hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques employ\u00e9s dans la production d\u2019acier, de fer et d\u2019aluminium, ainsi que le 1,4\u2011dioxane, utilis\u00e9 dans les industries chimique et textile. Une valeur limite d\u2019exposition professionnelle \u00e0 long terme est \u00e9galement \u00e9tablie pour l\u2019isopr\u00e8ne, utilis\u00e9 dans l\u2019industrie chimique et l\u2019industrie du caoutchouc, la substance r\u00e9pondant aux crit\u00e8res de classification comme canc\u00e9rog\u00e8ne. La Commission europ\u00e9enne devra en outre \u00e9valuer la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de fixer des valeurs limites suppl\u00e9mentaires pour les substances pr\u00e9sentes dans les fum\u00e9es de soudage.<\/p>\n
La directive actualis\u00e9e pr\u00e9cise les obligations relatives aux \u00e9quipements de protection individuelle lorsque l\u2019exposition ne peut \u00eatre r\u00e9duite en de\u00e7\u00e0 des valeurs limites. Elle encadre l\u2019utilisation d\u2019appareils de protection respiratoire et consacre le droit \u00e0 des pauses r\u00e9guli\u00e8res dans des zones exemptes de risques de contamination. Elle impose \u00e9galement aux employeurs de pr\u00e9voir des mesures de protection renforc\u00e9es pour les pompiers et les autres personnels des services d\u2019urgence, expos\u00e9s dans leur activit\u00e9 \u00e0 une vari\u00e9t\u00e9 de mat\u00e9riaux dangereux.<\/p>\n
Le texte insiste par ailleurs sur l\u2019importance d\u2019une formation adapt\u00e9e pour les travailleurs expos\u00e9s ou susceptibles de l\u2019\u00eatre \u00e0 des substances canc\u00e9rig\u00e8nes, mutag\u00e8nes ou toxiques pour la reproduction, y compris les m\u00e9dicaments dangereux, c\u2019est\u2011\u00e0\u2011dire des substances pharmaceutiques pouvant porter atteinte \u00e0 la sant\u00e9 des personnels de sant\u00e9 en cas de manipulation ou d\u2019utilisation inad\u00e9quate. Selon la rapporteure Liesbet Sommen (PPE, Belgique), environ 120 000 travailleurs de l\u2019Union europ\u00e9enne re\u00e7oivent chaque ann\u00e9e un diagnostic de cancer professionnel li\u00e9 \u00e0 une exposition \u00e0 des agents canc\u00e9rig\u00e8nes sur leur lieu de travail, ce qui justifie le renforcement des valeurs limites d\u2019exposition et des mesures de pr\u00e9vention au niveau europ\u00e9en.\u00a0(contenu r\u00e9sum\u00e9 en fran\u00e7ais par l’IA)Lire la Suite<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le Parlement europ\u00e9en a approuv\u00e9 en s\u00e9ance
