The current state of national system of normative regulation in the field of chemical safety

Chemicals and industrial waste adversely affect human health and the environment. At present, the main problem at chemically hazardous facilities is to timely provide relevant authorities with information on environmental pollution with hazardous chemicals for decision-making on emergency response. Purpose of the article. Studying the current state of chemically hazardous facilities in Ukraine, modern EU projects regulatory documents, draft laws of Ukraine with the aim of improving state regulation of the circulation of chemical products and ensuring their safe use or use with minimal risks to human health and the environment. Conclusions. Chemical industry enterprises pose a potential danger to life, human health and the ecosystem, especially in emergencies caused by the release of chemically hazardous substances with a possible complex of damaging effects (explosions, fires, toxic injuries of people and animals). For chemically hazardous enterprise it is advisable to implement: 1. “The Rules of technogenic safety” on the territory of hazardous facilities in the urban zone, which allow containing hazardous chemicals in volumes provided for by the design storage standards and technological regulations. 2. “A methodology for observing the assessment of radiation and chemical conditions”, which will help to timely provide the governing bodies of the unified state system of civil protection with information on environmental pollution with hazardous chemicals for decision-making on emergency response related to the release of hazardous chemicals. 3. Enterprise dispatch service, radiation and chemical observation post, settlement and analytical group. 4. The law “About chemical safety” will determine the legal framework in the field of chemical safety aimed at limiting the negative impact of technological activities on the state of the environment and the livelihoods of the population, and establish relations in the field of circulation of chemical products, to determine the powers of executive authorities, the rights and obligations of enterprises, institutions, organizations and citizens, taking into account the international obligations of Ukraine in this area.
