text: According to the detailed register data of the Swedish Chemicals Agency, 10 million tonnes of synthetic 
  chemicals were used in Sweden in 2019 that were classified as hazardous to health and the environment 
  (not counting petrol). That equals approximately 1 ton per citizen of such chemicals. 294 
  
  The ESENER 2019 survey provides information about**sectors that reported a particularly high**
  **prevalence of dangerous substances**. The percentage of enterprises reporting handling or exposure 
  to chemicals are: 50% in ‘Manufacturing’, 49% in ‘Construction, waste management, and water and 
  electricity supply’, and 47% in ‘Human health and social work activities’. 295 
  
  The prevention of risks from the use of chemicals at workplaces is done according to extensive 
  regulatory frameworks. The most relevant pieces of legislation at the EU level are the OSH Framework 
  Directive, the Chemical Agents Directive, and the Carcinogens and Mutagens Directive. Legislation in 
  other policy areas contributes to the reduction of risks from dangerous substances in workplaces, such 
  as EU legislation on chemical substances and mixtures (CLP, the regulation on classification, labelling 
  and packaging of chemicals, its predecessor directive was already issued in 1967; REACH the 
  regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals from 2007; and also 
  specific EU and international legislation on specific aspects such as chemicals in waste, storage and 
  transport, in specific products like batteries and cars, in specific sectors like agriculture, in natural 
  environments like in water and soil, and in consumer products like food, detergents and cosmetics).
