A range of legislative instruments are in place at EU level to manage and minimise the risks from occupational exposure to carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic substances.

This study assesses a number of options for moderning the current EU legislation, in particular regarding reprotoxic chemicals (see below baseline assessment, impact assessement, summary report and executive summary).
