Working with European trade unions to promote worker safety and awareness of REACH extended safety data sheets

The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the union federation, IndustriAll, in January 2013, extended their REACH information campaign for workers. In cooperation with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), the campaign promotes understanding of the REACH exposure scenarios and steps for companies to take to ensure the safe use of hazardous substances.
