The code provides practical guidance on the implementation of the provisions of the Chemicals Convention, 1990 (No. 170), and Recommendation, 1990 (No. 177), and is not intended to discourage competent authorities from adopting higher standards. The practical recommendations of this code of practice are intended for the use of all those who have a responsibility for safety in the use of chemicals. The code is not intended to replace national laws, regulations or accepted standards. Its object is to provide guidance to those who may be engaged in the framing of provisions relating to the use of chemicals at work such as competent authorities, the management of companies where chemicals are supplied or used, and emergency services. The code should also offer guidelines to suppliers’, employers’ and workers’ organisations."engWith permission of the license/copyright holdercode of conductcode of ethicschemicalscode of practiceoccupational healthoccupational safetyEconomic ethicsLabour/professional ethicsBioethicsHealth ethicsPreprint
