The Healthcare Priority Chemicals Matrix

The Healthcare Priority Chemicals Matrix

 

Identify chemicals to be given highest priority, based on international conventions and initiatives (SAICM; the Basel, Rotterdam, and Stockholm Conventions; WHO; GHS).  Cross-reference these substances with the known hazardous chemicals used in healthcare facilities in participating countries. Create a matrix identifying dangerous chemicals for substitution and/or management, including the highest priority chemicals identified in SAICM.
