We train on the safe use of chemicals at workplaces, present classification systems for the labelling and transport of dangerous goods, allow the reading and use of chemical safety cards, give a basic overview of toxicology and disseminate information on selected, widely used, hazardous substances.

This training should be absorbed by workers;

• who handle chemicals in their work;
• who have to decide on measures where chemical information is needed, such as workers’ safety representatives needing physical and chemical information on a specific substance, or a factory inspector looking for Occupational Exposure Limits; and
• who guide and educate others in the handling and use of chemicals.
