Technical guidance toolkit: For laboratories and customs.

Abstract

Hazardous substances that are used in laboratory settings and/or transported across national borders can be very dangerous for human health and ecosystems because of their inherent hazardous qualities. Such items include banned or restricted chemicals and hazardous and toxic waste. This technical guidance toolkit is designed to be used by Laboratory and Customs staff in Pacific Island Countries (PIC) for use as a technical reference guide in their daily work activities relating to hazardous substances.
