CHAMP provides chemical health hazard assessment data to make help you make decisions on chemical use and receive recommendations on how to control the hazards.

For location in British Columbia, Exposure Control Plans are one of the many tools in CHAMP with focus tabs for designated substances like silica, NORM and diesel exhaust.
