The public education scheme element aims to create general public awareness for safe and effective use of chemicals. This can be achieved through health education and communication led by the authorities.
Two options are possible:
- Specific campaign (on a specific issue)
- General education (e.g. on pesticides issues)
Raising public awareness about the problems, hazards and risks associated with industrial chemicals is also covered in the Awareness raising element of the Industrial Chemicals Management Scheme (follow the link on the left-hand side of the page; to return to this page use the navigation bar at the top of the page).
