Objectives

Five strategic objectives

1. Raising awareness of the importance and relevance of managing

dangerous substances in many European workplaces by providing facts

and figures on the exposure to dangerous substances and the impact of

this on workers.

2. Promoting risk assessment, elimination and substitution and the

hierarchy of prevention measures by providing information on practical

tools and good practice examples.

3. Raising awareness of risks linked to exposure to carcinogens at work by

supporting the exchange of good practices as a signatory to the

covenant committing to the Carcinogens Roadmap.

4. Targeting groups of workers with specific needs and higher levels of

risks, due to limited knowledge in relation to dangerous substances by

providing facts and figures and good practice information.

5. Improving awareness of policy developments/ legislative framework by

providing an overview of the existing framework and existing guidance.

Development of an interactive e-tool on dangerous substance

management for MSEs

The user gets a tailored report on his/her situation in the enterprise / at

the work places including recommendations for improvements and a

checklist based on answers to a short or long questionnaire about the

dangerous substances in the enterprise.

The e-tool is based on KEMIGuiden from PREVENT Sweden

The guide is reduced to general EU regulation and needs adaptation to

the national legislation
