Technical Update
Vicki Hughes
Technical Update
• FPP
• Waste wood classification
• Biomass Suppliers List/RHI Guidance/Clean Air Strategy
FPP - Where are we now?
• General Feedback that things much better on the ground
• Requirement for further workshops?
• Any other Support needed?
• Any issues get in touch with Julia
WWC - Recap on Project Objectives
• Waste wood to be properly classified at the front end
• Waste wood to go to the correct end use
• Clear understanding of what is hazardous
• Identify the size of the problem
• Guidance to allow the supply chain to correctly classify waste wood
• Deliverables:
1. Interim RPS
2. Detailed Sampling Plans for both HWRC and C&D
3. One Report on Findings from both sets of sampling/testing
4. Final Guides for both Waste Wood and C&D Sectors
Where are we Now?
• C&D samples of structural timbers, tiling battens and external joinery from 1950s, 1960s and 1970s demolition projects being collected for laboratory testing – can you help?
• For household waste wood, evidence has shown that only fence posts and decking require further testing
• 300 samples will be collected and screened for metals content via XRF (X Ray Fluorescent)
• 30 of each type will then be sent to the laboratory for testing
• Initial Pilot completed and awaiting laboratory results to agree final XRF protocol
• Wider household waste wood testing will take place from April 2019
• RPS extended until end September 2019
Biomass Suppliers List/BSL
• Julia and Richard meeting with BEIS policy Advisor to
drive home WRA position of virgin or clean untreated pre-
consumer waste wood into non IED Chapter IV
• Air Quality Working Group – BEIS, Ofgem, DEFRA and EA
• 5 work streams➢ Understanding Air Quality impact of RHI
➢ Ofgem-led Enforcement
➢ Biomass Combustion in Urban Areas – Consultation response
from WRA

Health and Safety Update
Tim Johnson
Health and Safety Executive
The Impact of a Lower
Hardwood Dust
Workplace Exposure
Limit
Tim Johnson HMI
Woodworking Sector
As Low as is Reasonably Practicable
(ALARP) & Workplace Exposure Limit (WEL)
• “A WEL is the maximum concentration of
a hazardous substance that should be
found in the air averaged over a specific
time period to give a time-weighted
average.”
• ALARP applicable to asthmagens and
carcinogens and is “ As low as is
reasonably and in any case below the
WEL”
Update
• The WEL for hardwood dust lowering
from the current 5mg/m3 to 3mg/m3 in
January 2020
• Further reduction in 2023 to 2mg/m3
• Brexit is unlikely to affect this reduction
• As low as is reasonably practicable
(ALARP) will STILL APPLY.
Effect on softwood only ?
• Asthmagens are covered by reg7(5) of
Control of Substances Hazardous to
Health.
• Will softwood levels mirror hardwood
reduction ?
What will potentially change ?
1) Current woodworking industry practice ?
2) HSE inspection/enforcement policy ?
3) HSE and industry guidance ?
4) Central approach to industry control ?
Current industry practice ?
• Practical change to achieve current
standards in ALL woodworking premises .
• Industry attitude change to achieving
ALARP.
HSE Inspection /enforcement
policy
• Current inspection emphasis on wood
dust control and health is unlikely to
change.
• However, changes likely to include more
in depth inspection of current control
measure efficiency.
• Enforcement where controls cannot be
demonstrated to be effective to ALARP.
• HSE guidance adequate to achieve
2mg/m3 and below in most woodworking
processes.
• Increased publicity and emphasis for
current guidance?
• Guidance specific to wood recycling ?
• Slight change in emphasis on prevention
pre process .
HSE and industry Guidance
• Emphasises importance of strategy.
• Emphasises need for central approach
• Selling point to industry for strategy.
Central industry control
Overall message
• There will be costs to industry which for
wood recycling are unknown.
• That cost will be more onerous for those
businesses which are not complying with
current standards and guidance !!!
• The wood sector needs to start taking
stock - now !
Date/Location of Future Meetings
2019 Meetings
• June 12th – Enva Wood Recycling, Middlesbrough
• September 11th TBC near RWM
• December 4th TBC
• 2020 – Looking for more site tour locations
