In the leaflet you will find detailed information on the safe handling of synthetic and epoxy resin, polyurethane, acids and alkalis, cement and solvents. Finally, we summarize the most important things about the proper storage and disposal of construction chemicals.

The four-page checklist contains all relevant areas that need to be checked in your company when working with reactive resins. This includes: the products used, workplaces/systems/facilities, personal protective equipment as well as maintenance/training/management. Simply go through the checklist point by point to clarify all possible dangers and - if necessary - take protective measures against them.

Several carcinogenic substances have a threshold concentration below which no carcinogen risk is present. In such cases the maximum workplace concentrations meet the minimisation requirement. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between carcinogens with and without threshold levels.Since 2016 carcinogens with threshold concentrations have been published with a special notation in the Swiss list of limit values.

The webpage targets the general public and professional chemicals users and provides basic information on their safe handling, including information on classification and labelling, safe use information and emergency information as well as some legal background information. It includes an app that can be downloade das well as information materials in different languages for migrant workers (rumantsch, español, português, shqip, srpski, தமிழ, türkçe).

A searchable database of registered products (mixtures, parallel imported plant protection products, biocidal products or existing substances). It provides data on components, hazard categories and H and P statements, pictograms, etc.

The infosheets summarise legal obligations on chemicals for different actors and activities. The 45 documents address placing on the market of various products and by various actors but also safe handling and requirements for certified personell

The guides gives a comprehensive overview of the main safety relevant aspects of storing hazardous chemicals and enable the user to better identify such hazardous chemicals, optimise their storage and take the necessary safety measures. The guides explainc the applicable legally required and the most up-to-date safety technologies. Several documents are provided on the website.

Central website of the Swiss authority responsible for the assessment of chemicals for the health protection of workers (SECO). It contains pages on biocides, plant protection products, DNEL values, exposure, risk, prevention measures, safety data sheets and market control. It provides an overview of the regulations relating to worker protection and contains links to its own but also other mostly national external documents at various levels (brochures, factsheets, checklists, tools and reports). REACH-OSH, nanomaterials and endocrine disruptors are also covered.

A webpage with useful information on how to handle chemicals at home and at work, as well as information on environmental toxins in the home, chemical safety and nanotechnology. The webpage provides links to further information sources.

The website give access to tools supporting the responsible handling of synthetic nanomaterials. The tools concern safety at the workplace, risk assessment, safety data sheets, safe storage and waste disposal, emergency response. They are based on existing knowledge and applicable legal provisions. The tools are regularly updated to reflect the most advanced scientific views as well as international developments.
