OECD helps public authorities and industry prevent Chemical Accidents, and respond appropriately if one occurs.

Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers are key tools to inform about hazardous chemicals/pollutants released to the environment.

We aim to harmonise the international Classification and Labelling of hazardous chemicals.

OECD looks to help develop national policies and actions, as well as international measures on Risk Reduction.

Sustainable Chemistry promotes the design, manufacture and use of environmentally benign chemicals.
