DOHSBase offers up to date information on properties, limit values and samling methods of occuational agents. The Compare mode simplifies workplace exposure assessment of chemical preparations and multiconstituents in ranking the potential riska and finding the lead substance

Welcome on the internet site of DOHSBase. It provides you information on the program, the Compare mode, the kick-off limit values, the new OEL setting and REACH.

DOHSBase is a comprehensive database of (inter)national occupational exposure limits (OEL) and sampling methods. The program is unique and time saving for everyone involved in the control of occupational loads (chemical, biological, physical).

In 2005 the program was extended with the "kick-off" limit value concept for chemical substances without a limit value.  

In 2006 the Compare mode was aaded that ranks and compares the hazard (TOX), the ability to become air born (TIX) and the risk potency (RAS=TIX*TOX) of substances in complex mixtures.

This feature is extremely useful in working coditions control and the REACH exposure scenarios of e.g. paints, lubricants etc. within REACh. See the DOHSBase newletter of april2005 (.pdf) or the article in the NVvA nieuwsbrief (in Dutch).

DOHSBase is empowered by the Dutch Occupational Hygiene Society
