UEIL endorses Good Practice Guide for the Safe Handling and Disposal of Metalworking Fluids

22/03/2021

A Good Practice Guide for the Safe Handling and Disposal of Metalworking Fluids has been produced by a panel of experts in metalworking fluids through a partnership between the United Kingdom Lubricants Association and the regulator for England & Wales, the Health & Safety Executive.

UEIL has supported and endorsed the development of this guidance through participation in the UKLA Metalworking Fluid Product Stewardship Group as part of its role to promote cooperation between associated companies in order to improve the technical knowledge and the health, safety and quality standards of the lubricants industry.

The guide references relevant health & safety law relating to Great Britain which might not be applicable in other European countries. Companies are therefore advised to check with their own national regulator concerning relevant health & safety law applicable within their own country.
