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
