A campaign by cheminfo.ch for responsible handling of chemical products in everyday life.
It is available only in the French, German and Italian language.
Whether professionally in workshops, factories, or privately, in the bathroom and kitchen, garden or hobby room, or outdoors: At some point, we all use chemical products.
As long as some important rules are followed, handling these products is safe.
However, it is important to always be aware of the dangers that can arise from improper use of such substances.
