<p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not have ready access to the information you
have requested as it is not centrally recorded. Hexavalent chromium paint is now only
used by the MOD on platforms where there is no suitable alternative and where it is
absolutely necessary to maintain defence capability and safety. The MOD is alert to
the health and safety risks associated with hexavalent chromate and provides guidance,
safety data sheets, training and working instructions for personnel known to be working
with the substance, together with personal protective equipment. The MOD has a small
number of exemptions in place for known instances of hexavalent chromate application
and is working hard to identify alternatives in these cases.</p><p> </p>
