| Abstract |
Enterprises that produce or use dangerous chemicals in view of their physical, chemical or toxicological properties expose their workers to the risk of occupational accidents and diseases. With the coming into force of the REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) Regulations and the new General Harmonized System (GHS) of classification and labelling, the use of chemicals is undergoing a profound change, with the ultimate objective of achieving a better understanding of the hazards due to the most commonly-used substances, together with a global harmonisation of labelling. |
