Promoting Safer Disinfectants in the Healthcare Sector
This report is the result the SAICM 2.0 project coordinated by Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) Europe. It is a pilot project which aims to raise awareness of and combat these unintended hazards by promoting safer, more environmentally friendly disinfectants without compromising on hygienic or occupational health standards.
By expanding procurement, supply chain and health professionals’ knowledge of the health and environmental impacts of disinfectants, they can better align System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and an international standardisation of hazard communication and documentation.
