ILO International Chemical Control Toolkit
Description:
The International Chemical Control Toolkit outlines a scheme for protection against harmful and dangerous chemicals in the workplace. It is designed for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries. A procedure is described for finding relevant instructions (guidance sheets) for the safe handling of a substance under given conditions; pesticides users have access to a list of control sheets compiled under Pesticides. The Toolkit includes information on respiratory protection equipment (RPE), other safety and environmental risks, and a complete list of guidance sheets is available.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
The control banding method can be used to determine the risk management for a substance based on its classification.
