-__Relevance to algae:__ This is the framework Directive for occupational health and safety across the EU. Algae producers, as employers, must train staff in the correct use of cultivation and processing equipment and provide a safe working environment. This is particularly relevant for facilities using pressurised systems, centrifuges, spray driers or chemical extraction processes. Equipment-specific safety legislation is covered in [[algae:equipment_safety|Equipment and Safety]].+__Relevance to algae:__ This is the framework Directive for occupational health and safety across the EU. Its transpositions to national legislation are quite different so local rules should be consulted. Algae producers, as employers, must train staff to use cultivation and processing equipment correctly and provide a safe working environment. This is particularly relevant for facilities that use pressurised systems, centrifuges, spray driersor chemical extraction processes. There are also relevant limitations regarding work in greenhouses or under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. Equipment-specific safety legislation is covered in [[algae:equipment_safety|Equipment and Safety]].
