Chemicals management is an essential activity for professionals working in product safety and compliance. It encompasses a broad range of activities, all of which aim to minimise the product safety and environmental risks associated with hazardous substances and ensure their safe and responsible use.

By implementing robust chemicals management and chemicals control practices, compliance teams can ensure chemicals of concern are effectively handled throughout their entire lifecycle, from production to disposal.

What are chemicals management and control activities? 

Typically, working in chemicals management and control includes carrying out some of the following activities, plus many others:
