In order to achieve adequate protection of workers from risks to their health and safety and to take account of technical harmonisation and standardisation, technical progress, changes in international standards or specifications and new findings concerning chemical agents, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission to make strictly technical amendments to the Annexes to Directive 98/24/EC, and to supplement that Directive by establishing or revising indicative occupational exposure limit values. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts.
