International laws on hazardous substances

Answer:

International laws on hazardous substances are conventions signed by countries that regulate handling of hazardous substances, some of them are binding for all UN nations and some are binding only for the countries that signed the convention. For example there is The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, The Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade and many more.

If some international convention is signed by your country, it is probably incorporated in your state legislation. The best way to identify them and address them is to contact your local authority and see what legislation are covering your field of industry and that is practically all you need to follow.
