answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2022 answer text <p>Specific control measures exist to minimise exposure to chemicals with endocrine disrupting properties through the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) regulatory work on plant protection products (pesticides) and biocides, and through its regulatory regimes (Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)). These measures apply to all workers and they aim to reduce use and exposure to such chemicals and stimulate replacement with safer alternatives. This framework does not specifically target women’s exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs).</p><p> </p><p>CLP classifies chemicals, including those with endocrine disrupting properties, for the intrinsic hazards they possess, and this will filter through to labels, safety data sheets and other controls in order to reduce use and exposure to such chemicals and recommend safer alternatives.</p><p> </p><p>Regulation 16 of The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (MHSWR) requires the risk assessment to include any risks to females of childbearing age who could become pregnant, and any risks to new and expectant mothers.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2022 answer text <p>No assessment has been made of these trends. While NHS Digital collects data on the prevalence of breast and ovarian cancer, it is not possible to determine whether these cancers are caused by shift work and asbestos. Hospital episode statistics do not record patients’ career or workplace and the codes used to identify groups of chemicals or noxious substances as the cause of a specific condition do not separately identify asbestos.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 31/03/2022 14:05:24 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield previous answer version 53294 answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
