  • Reference: 2012/0284

Air Quality on Tube

  • Reference: 2012/0282
  • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines for occupational exposure to 'dust' have not changed since 1998, yet the health effects of exposure to air pollution have become much better understood in recent years. Will you therefore adopt the precautionary principles put forward by the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) and Trades Union Congress (TUC), who suggest that employers should aim to keep exposure to 'respirable' and 'inhalable' dust below 1 mg/m3 and 5 mg/m3 respectively?

  • Reference: 2012/0281
  • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012

Do you agree it would be a huge missed opportunity if London Underground were to wait this long before meeting your target?
