National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, Japan
The Division of Chemical Information collects, analyzes and disseminate information necessary to protect the health of workers from the hazards of chemicals. Specifically, in addition to disseminating and updating information related to the GHS, we are conducting research on the processing and dissemination of information that can be used in the workplace, based on literature surveys on health problems or analysis of cases of occupational accidents caused by chemicals, and comparative studies of chemical substance management methods in other countries. We also conduct research on the development of practical infrastructures to support the management of chemicals in small and medium-sized businesses.
