| Summary: | "The purpose of this Manual is to enhance understanding of sound and sustainable management of chemicals and of related risks in the workplace. Particular attention is given to the “environmental” rights of workers exposed to chemicals and hazardous substances. Trade unions are uniquely placed to sensitize workers about the impact of industrial chemicals on occupational and environmental health, to promote and demand that both public and private sectors develop programmes on chemical safety, as well as to train workers to contribute and verify that these measures are adequately implemented. In this regard, access to information and training are necessary to improve working conditions. The purpose of this Manual is to provide workers and trade unions with general information and guidance on how to ensure sound and sustainable management of chemicals." |
