* that cattle with calves were suitably segregated from the public footpath

Recommendation to restrict substances in tattoo and PMU inks [ https://press.hse.gov.uk/2023/06/08/recommendation-to-restrict-substances-in-tattoo-and-permanent-make-up-inks?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=press-channels-push&utm_term=pmu-tattoo-headline&utm_content=digest-15-jun-23 ]
HSE is recommending the restriction of hazardous substances in ink used for tattooing and permanent make-up (PMU) in Great Britain.
The proposed new restriction aims to protect people from any potential harmful effects which may be caused by tattoo and PMU ink.
The recommendation follows this year’s publication of the final risk assessment opinion and the 60-day public consultation on the draft socio-economic (SE) opinion [ https://consultations.hse.gov.uk/crd-reach/reach-restriction-tattoo-ink-pmu-substances?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=chemicals-guidance&utm_term=pmu-tattoo-1&utm_content=digest-15-jun-23 ].
This opinion has been reviewed by a Challenge Panel made up of independent experts from the REACH Independent Scientific Expert Pool. You can view:
* the list of restrictions [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/reach/restrictions.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=chemicals-guidance&utm_term=pmu-tattoo-2&utm_content=digest-15-jun-23 ] on the HSE website
* further information on the restriction proposal [ https://press.hse.gov.uk/2023/06/08/recommendation-to-restrict-substances-in-tattoo-and-permanent-make-up-inks?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=press-channels-push&utm_term=pmu-tattoo-3&utm_content=digest-15-jun-23 ] in our press release
