The Chemicals (Hazard information & Packaging for Supply)
Regulations (CHIP)
CHIP aims to ensure that purchasers and users of chemicals are given enough information on the hazards to protect their health and safety.
This extends the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 for manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that preparations and substances that they supply are safe for use at work and provide adequate information on the hazards to allow the preparation or substance to be handled safely.
CHIP therefore governs the information that must be provided when hazardous chemicals are supplied. Hazard chemicals are categorised into the following groups;
 |
 |
 |
 |
Very toxic,
Toxic |
Corrosive |
Harmful,
Irritant |
Dangerous for the environment |
Safety Data Sheets on all chemical products stocked are available
from CCL Supplies upon request.
