The OECD workshop on approaches for establishing Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) presented the outcomes of the OECD survey report on the OELs setting and explored the possible opportunities for harmonisation approaches for setting OELs amongst countries. In addition, the workshop introduced Japan’s new legal framework on OELs, which aims to establish approximately 500 new OELs in the next three years.

This workshop was jointly hosted by Japan and the OECD. Japan provided English-Japanese interpretation to facilitate the discussion at the workshop.
