Course Description
So, what exactly do we mean by 'Substances Hazardous to Health'?
In legal terms, these are substances classified as "very toxic, toxic, harmful, corrosive, or irritant" under the Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (CLP). This regulation was implemented in January 2009, aligning with another set of regulations known as REACH. REACH, a European Union regulation initiated on 1st June 2007, stands for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals. One of REACH's primary objectives is to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment concerning chemical usage.
