WHO Guidelines for Chemical Safety

The WHO Guidelines for Chemical Safety provide internationally accepted recommendations to minimize health and environmental risks from hazardous chemicals. They emphasize proper management throughout a chemical’s lifecycle, including safe handling, storage, transportation, and disposal. The guidelines encourage practices to reduce exposure for workers and communities, promote the use of safer alternatives, and ensure effective emergency responses. By following these standards, industries and governments help protect public health and the environment from chemical-related hazards, fostering safer workplaces and communities worldwide.
