dc.description	This booklet presents a framework designed to improve chemical hazard management in small and medium sized enterprises by integrating operational safety practices, emergency preparedness and corporate responsibility principles. It explains the need for a systematic approach that shifts chemical management from reactive compliance to preventive risk management across the full value chain. The document outlines a structured five-step implementation process that includes identifying chemical risks, engaging relevant stakeholders, planning control measures, implementing training and procedures, and evaluating performance through indicators and dashboards. It also describes tools, training modules and pilot applications used in several countries to demonstrate how organisations can strengthen chemical safety, reduce accident risks and enhance cooperation with communities, authorities and supply chain partners.	en
