Abstract The use of dangerous chemical products at the workplace is a risk factor. Employers and employees must be aware of this risk and receive proper information about the hazards and the preventive measures to be observed to ensure safety at work. Adequate labelling and safety data sheets are effective means of helping the employers implement programmes aimed at improving plant safety and health organization, and helping employees to take care of their health.
