Chemical Leasing is a service-oriented business model that shifts the focus from increasing sales volume of chemicals, toward a value-added approach. The producer mainly sells the functions performed by the chemical and functional units are the main basis for payment. 

The Chemical Leasing Toolkit provides guidelines, materials, best practice case studies and lessons learnt from more than 10 years of work at UNIDO’s Global Chemical Leasing Programme. It is designed as an interactive online tool that aims to help industry and also policy professionals to become more knowledgeable about the Chemical Leasing Business Model and its effective and efficient use in practice. It outlines the main steps and tasks required for the smooth and efficient application of Chemical Leasing to industries from different sectors and countries as well as monitoring procedures. Starting from a detailed analysis and screening process to define the most suitable chemicals and applications in a company, the toolkit provides support on the implementation and monitoring of Chemical Leasing business models at plant level. 

Eco‐innovation is the development and application of a new business strategy that incorporates sustainability throughout all business operations based on life cycle thinking. It is implemented in cooperation with partners across the value chain and it entails a coordinated set of modifications or novel solutions to products (goods and services), processes, market approach and organizational structure which leads to a company’s enhanced performance and competitiveness.

The Manual provides a methodology for the implementation of eco-innovation in SMEs and contains a number of tools to support the implementation of the methodology. Detailed instructions for the use of the tools are provided together with an example of their application on a learning case study. A supplement specific for eco-innovation in the chemicals sector will be released soon. The methodology adaptation to an online learning experience tool will be available in 2017.

This step-by-step guide guides companies in the process of selecting sustainable chemicals and using chemicals more sustainably. It supports companies with the:
- Integration of aspects of sustainability in their selection and the way chemicals (substances and mixtures) are used along their lifecycle by providing measurable sustainability criteria
- Identification & substitution of priority chemicals
- Selection of sustainable chemicals

The three-hour module Introduction to Industrial Accidents: prevention, preparedness and response aims to raise awareness about industrial accidents in order to strengthen the capacity of government, industry and civil society.

CAMEO is a suite of software applications used to plan for and respond to chemical emergencies. Developed by EPA and the NOAA to assist front-line chemical emergency planners and responders, CAMEO can access, store, and evaluate information critical for developing emergency plans. These applications can be used together or separately, but when they are used together, the programs interact seamlessly and information can be linked easily between them. It consists of 4 tools: 
CAMEOfm - Database and Information Management Tool
CAMEO Chemicals - Chemical Response Data Sheets and Reactivity Prediction Tool
MARPLOT - Mapping Application for Response, Planning, and Local Operational Tasks
ALOHA - Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres

The CFP Assessment Tool is designed to be used by companies from any business sector to benchmark its chemicals management programme, understand its progress over time and its position relative to other companies.
The process helps companies in measuring progress toward the use of safer chemicals and away from chemicals of high concern to human health or the environment.
The CFP Assessment Tool includes 20 questions that evaluate overall corporate chemical management performance by considering four categories:
- Management Strategy,
- Chemical Inventory
- Footprint Measurement
- Public Disclosure and Verification.

The Chemical Reactivity Evaluation Tool (RMT) can be used as an aid in identifying and evaulating chemical reactivity hazards so that they may be effectively avoided or controlled. It targets engineers, chemists, and management in SMEs having responsibilities relating to process safety and helps them:

- to identify most chemical reactivity hazards associated with their chemical processing and support operations;
- direct them to the Centre for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) documentation and other references of the best chemical engineering practices for the identification of reactivity hazards.
-  to put guidance for risk control into practice
The RMT applies to physical processing, chemical reactions and storage of chemicals and contains a database on over 5,000 chemicals.

An e-tool to determine the recommended OH&S control approach for hazardous substances used in processing operations in the workplace:
- Assessment summary including one of four recommended control approaches (general ventilation, engineering control, containment, special)
- ‘Control guidance sheets’ containing advice for controlling exposure (e.g. selection of personal protective equipment);
- Stepwise suggestion to put guidance for risk control into practice
It is based on the control banding approach and does not address physical hazards (e.g.  fire) or environmental hazards.

This guide aims to support first responders in:
- quickly identifying the specific or generic hazards of the material(s) involved in the incident on a highway or railway
- protecting themselves and the general public during the initial response phase of the incident
- making initial decisions upon arriving at the scene of a dangerous goods incident

The GESTIS-Substance Database contains information on toxicological, ecotoxicological, physiochemical properties, occupational health/first aid, handling/usage and associated European regulations. The available information relates to about 9,400 substances. Data are updated immediately after publication of new official regulations or after the issue of new scientific results.

A practical tool aimed to help companies with the identification of alternative safer chemicals:
- Compares the hazards of different substances and mixtures under specific process conditions
- Based on the classification of chemicals according to GHS and uses hazard statements and process conditions as inpus

As a second element of GPS, ICCA has established the GPS Chemicals Portal to provide the public with easy access to science-based, reliable information on chemicals. The GPS Safety Summaries contained on the Portal provide the most relevant product safety information from companies on the chemical products they manufacture in a language that non-specialists will find easy to understand.
To date, more than 4600 GPS Safety Summaries are available on the GPS Chemicals Portal, and ICCA member companies continue to post summaries to the site. Establishing a base set of information and publishing GPS Safety Summaries for their chemicals in commerce is part of the GPS commitment of ICCA member companies – and part of the chemical industry's commitment to transparency.

The document is part of a series of guidance documents to help ICCA member companies fulfill their commitment to perform risk assessment under GPS, define safe use conditions and if necessary, implement risk management measures so that safe use conditions are met. The GPS Risk Assessment is a  simple, step-by-step guidance document for chemicals risk assessment specifically targeting companies with limited experience in the field.

These guidelines provide a list of practical options on how a company can meet the requirements of the chapter 1.10 on Security Provisions in ADR 2015. They are the result of a cooperation between 11 industry associations, which represent a large part of manufacturing, transport, distribution and forwarding industries, involved in the transport of dangerous goods and every company involved with the transport of dangerous goods.

These Guidelines have been designed to provide as comprehensive a range of technical and operational options as possible, from which users can select their optimum mix measurements.

International Chemical Safety Cards are data sheets intended to provide essential safety and health information on chemicals in a clear and concise way. The aim is to promote the safe use of chemicals. They are used at the “shop floor” level by workers, and by those responsible for health and safety in factories, agriculture, construction and other workplaces, and often form part of education and training activities. More than 1,700 cards are available in English.

The aim of PRIO is to help users in the assessment of health and environmental risks from chemical substances so that people who work as environmental managers, purchasers and product developers can identify the need for risk reduction. In order to achieve this goal, PRIO provides a guide for decision-making that can help in setting risk reduction priorities.
All the substances in the database have been allocated a prioritisation level; phase-out substance or priority risk-reduction substance.

The PARIS III is a desktop/laptop application that allows users to find mixtures of solvents with specific physical and chemical properties, that also have relatively low environmental impacts. The software helps users find replacements for solvent mixtures that are currently being used in industrial processes, but have dangerous environmental side effects. The software can also be used to find solvents with lower environmental impact when designing new industrial processes, as well as more benign solvents that can be added to harmful solvents favored by industry to help reduce the harmful environmental impact of their processes.

The eTool provides instruction on the proper selection of respiratory protection and the development of change schedules for gas/vapor cartridges as well as helps comply with the OSHA respirator standard. The OSHA respirator standard applies to all occupational airborne exposures to contaminated air where the employee is (a) exposed to a hazardous level of an airborne contaminant; or (b) required by the employer to wear respirators; or (c) permitted to wear respirators.

A code of practice aimed to help warehouse operators to safely store chemicals
It provides a good overview of rules for storage including assignment of storage classes for chemical substances, mixtures and auxiliaries including operating materials if these are being stored in packages.
 

This tool consists of three separate models for estimating exposures to workers, consumers and the environment that arise during a series of events (‘exposure scenarios‘). The TRA Tool has had a major beneficial impact on REACH (Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) since there was no other way chemical safety assessments (CSAs) could be compiled without it.
