The Faculty of Occupational Hygiene (FOH) has also been granted a Group Authority Licence by the Home Office. If you are a member of this Faculty, this licence will allow you to possess sampling media containing 1-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine for the purpose of conducting the Method for Determination of Hazardous Substances (MDHS) 25, within the UK. (MDHS) 25 is the Health and Safety Executive’s recommended sampling and analytical method for determining exposures to organic isocyanates. Why is a licence needed for the use of MDHS 25? A licence is necessary because 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (‘1,2-MP’) is a Schedule 1 drug to the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The Group Authority Licence is an alternative to occupational hygienists holding individual licences. Standard Operating Procedure for using our licence Active members of the Faculty will be permitted to operate under the licence as long as they comply with the requirements of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). To access a copy of the SOP members can log in to their BOHS account to download the documents. If you require any further information about the Licence please contact the membership team at membership@bohs.org or by calling 01332 250719 or 01332 250708. |
