OBJECTIVE
To make users understand safety recommendations
and the rationale for these recommendations.
To create awareness among users of the consequences
of failure to comply with the recommendations.
To ensure that users recognise the symptoms of
overexposure.
To encourage the users of hazardous chemicals to provide
inputs in establishing strategies and recommendations
for the safe use of the hazardous chemicals.
