The guide presents general information on chemical agents, their hazards and their assessment. A general formula is given for the calculation of a score for the chemical risk assessment. A specific formula for carcinogens and mutagens is also given, along with specific information on the types and effects of carcinogens and mutagens.

The document provides technical guidance on how to gather and understand information relevant to the risk assessment of chemicals at workplaces, considering the applicable legislation, including the influence of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation and the classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) regulation. It also discusses occupational exposure limit values and workplace measurement.

INAIL’s webpage on hazardous chemcials briefly introduces to the topic and provides access to further information, including on classifciation, hazard identification and different types of effects. 

The guide presents the hazards posed by chemicals at workplaces, how to assess workers risks and what measures are possible to control these risks, including the use of personal protective equipment. The guide also contains sections on chemicals legislation (REACH and CLP).

INAIL’s websites provides brief introductions to workers safety and health challenges working in contaminated sites, including chemical and biological ones. Several resources to assess risks and identify preventive action are mentioned and links provided.

The guide is a quick and easy source of information on identifiing and controlling chemical risks in laboratories. 

The report presents the general aspects of the occurence and impacts of hazardous substances at workplaces and how they are linked to enviornmental exposures. An overview of prevention measures is given as well as different international instruments to manage chemicals, including the GHS and the Strategic Approach to Chemicals Management, REACH. It also includes recommendations to improve chemicals management at workplaces and in general. 

The guide presents, in accessible language accompanied by numerous figures, basic facts about asbestos, how it can be identified and risks of working with it be assessed as well as what preventive measures to implement, including during waste disposal. It outlines content of trainings and gives background information on the legal requirements.
The guide is translated to Romanian.

This guide presents measures for safely storing and using plant protection products (PPPs). Chapter 3.3.6 entitled 'Hygiene and OSH' is particularly relevant, but most of the measures and information in the other chapters are also relevant to occupational safety and health (OSH), with useful information for managing chemical risks associated with PPPs.

The guide presents practical information on the preventive and protective measures for handling crystalline silica. It is structured based on the tasks and equipment in which exposure to crystalline silica may occur.
