Why OECD Work on Chemicals Policy Matters
OECD work on chemicals assists countries to develop policies and instruments that make chemicals management as efficient and robust as possible, while protecting health and the environment. In this context, the Organization administers over 19 diverse legal instruments, including on chemical safety and accidents, the exchange of confidential chemicals data or the Polluter-Pays Principle. By avoiding duplicative data requirements, the OECD Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) program generates cost savings of over 309 million Euros annually for governments and business.
