A start has been made to implement the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), these efforts should be stepped up as a matter of priority. Work on the feasibility of establishing a pollutant release and transfer register (PRTR) should continue with a view to setting up such a register. Further efforts should be made to ensure that small and medium-sized enterprises using hazardous chemicals have access to the information they need to handle and dispose of the chemicals safely. Information sources for consumers should also be strengthened.
