The WELs given legal effect by COSHH reg 7. Hardwood dust 3 mg/m3 8-hr TWA (Carc, Sen); softwood 5 mg/m3; respirable crystalline silica 0.1 mg/m3. The numbers are in EH40, not in COSHH itself.

The instrument itself: https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/eh40.htm. The summary above is our plain-English reading, not the text of the instrument — always work from the source.
