Protection of workers: exposure to biological agents (Directives 89/391/EEC, 90/679/EEC). Codification

PURPOSE : to codify the Directive 90/679/EEC on the protection of workers from risks related to exposure to biological agents at work. CONTENT : in the context of a concern that there should be clarity and transparency in Community law, the current proposal aims to undertake official codification of Directive 90/679/EEC, which has been amended on several occasions since its adoption. The new Directive will supercede the various Directives incorporated in it; their content is fully preserved, and they are brought together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.�
