Abstract – A problem of delivering information to different groups of users is considered regarding handling of chemicals at all stages of their circulation. An analysis of main criteria for selecting top-priority hazardous chemicals has been carried out, and a proposal has been submitted for distribution of information on chemicals between target user groups. An approach is exemplified by an initiative of creating an electronic directory for informational support of interested users.

Keywords: safe handling of chemicals, hazard reporting, chemical safety, Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), technical documentation developers.
