Applying for exemption from basic obligations and protective measures in the commercial handling of hazardous substances
If you wish to deviate from the provisions of the Hazardous Substances Ordinance, you must apply for an exemption from the competent authority.

Upon written application, exceptions to the Hazardous Substances Ordinance may be granted if the application of the regulations would lead to disproportionate hardship in individual cases. The exception must be justifiable in terms of safety and compatible with the protection of employees and other persons.
