International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSC)

The International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSC) are data sheets intended to provide essential safety and health information on chemicals in a clear and concise way. The primary aim of the Cards is to promote the safe use of chemicals in the workplace and the main target users are therefore workers and those responsible for occupational safety and health.

Type: Database

The ICSC project is a joint undertaking between the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Office (ILO), with the cooperation of the European Commission. The technical Secretariat is provided by WHO.

This project began during the 1980s with the objective of developing a product to disseminate the appropriate hazard information on chemicals at the workplace in an understandable and precise way.

To date approximately 1700 Cards are available. ICSC are regularly updated to take account of the latest scientific developments. For any enquiries about the ICSCs please contact ipcsmail@who.int.
