CLEANING PRODUCTS SAFETY

Motion Text

That this House notes research by the Department of Clinical Science at Bergen University which shows that exposure to some cleaning products can be as damaging to lung function as smoking 20 cigarettes a day; further notes the occupational health risks faced by people who work as cleaners; expresses dissatisfaction at the current regulation of cleaning products; and calls on the Government to bring forward proposals for labelling of cleaning products to warn of the health risks, to work with the industry to make such products as safe as possible, and to bring forward regulations to minimise health risks.
