[Management of combined exposure to chemical agents: an operative proposal].
The Decree 25/2002 introduces the duty, in case of activities involving exposure to several chemical agents, to evaluate the risk "on the basis of the risk presented by all such chemical agents in combination". Yet, in the Decree, no principles or formal methods are defined to perform such evaluation. Waiting for specific technical instructions, we propose a scheme for the management of the "combined risk", inspired to the formal criteria and suggestions of the American Agencies ACGIH and OSHA. Advantages and limits of the proposed scheme are discussed.
