The chemicals adjust or hormonal balance and are present in a wide range of sectors such as agriculture, construction, cleaning, textile production, beaty and skin care, recycling,… Legally they are mentioned right next to carcinogenic substances.
Where is this all coming from? Are these products dangerous? How can we recognize them? What can we do about it? Join us at the seminar to find out.

The National Action Plan on Endocrine Disruptors (NAPED)
An action plan has been implemented in June 2022 in Belgium in order to decrease the exposure of the population and of the environment to endocrine disruptors. This action plan is based on the collaboration between the different competent authorities at federal, regional and regional levels, and with the stakeholders. Several types of actions are currently ongoing: preventive actions, regulatory actions and research-based actions. This first action plan will end in December 2026.

Identification and communication of endocrine disruptors: from REACH to CLP
How are endocrine disruptors identified in the EU? Where can you find information on endocrine disruptors?
With the notion of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), REACH provided the first framework for identification and communication on Endocrine disruptors. The hazard class endocrine disruption is since 2023 added in the CLP regulation.

Occupational exposure to endocrine disruptors : challenges, difficulties, and advices for preventionists and occupational physicians
(Expositions professionnelles aux perturbateurs endocriniens : enjeux, difficultés, et conseils pour les préventeurs et les médecins du travail)
With a definition of endocriene disruptors and its mechanism of actions we will discuss the possible health effects. With a small overview of the legislation and the sectors at risk we will discuss the sources of exposure. This will lead us to how companies control this group of Chemicals, which tools exist and which obstacles they might Encounter and how the occupational physician can approach this subject.

Beste,

Bij deze wens ik mijn aanwezigheid voor de BSOH seminarie Endocrine disruptors op te zeggen, daar ik niet aanwezig kan zijn.
Ik heb het geprobeerd via de online registratie, maar het schijnt niet te lukken.

mvg
