Abstract
1. Toxicology plays an important part in the prevention of work related disease. 2. The toxic effects of substances used at work are similar to those of other types of chemical, hence similar methods of investigation are used. 3. A very wide range of substances is used at work. The conditions of use determine the degree of exposure and the likelihood of adverse effects. 4. The scope for control of risks depends on a knowledge of likely adverse effects and the availability of technical and managerial means for reducing exposure. 5. The relationships between the employee, his employer, suppliers, expert advisers and the regulatory authorities determine the effectiveness with which toxic risks are identified and control measures implemented.
