These are in particular laboratories, storages, workshops, etc. They will replace the rules that have been used so far, which no longer comply with current chemical legislation. The rules are available to all employees and students in Palacký University information system UPShare; you may currently download Czech versions of documents, their English versions will be placed on the same storage within 10 days.
