Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

The purpose of REACH is to make organisations that place substances on the market responsible for understanding and managing the risks associated with their use. They are responsible for collecting, collating and registering information about their chemicals with the HSE. The ultimate aim is to ensure that employees, users, the public and the environment have a high level of protection from any properties of substances that may be hazardous to human and biological health.
