Abstract
Authors reviewed several examples and made a proposal on the application of Best Available Techniques (BAT) and Best Environmental Practices (BEP) as a tool of chemical management. The final purpose of the chemical management is both of chemical safety and public sense of security. In general, chemical safety is achieved by complying with the government regulations. The public sense of security is achieved only when the chemical safety by chemical industries is further improved in their responsibility. BAT and BEP is one of the good tools for the responsibility. In other words, we proposed that BAT and BEP can make chemical safety more reliable and responsible. This is a goal of sustainable chemical management in the future.
