Manage Chemical Hazards in Workplace

Overview

Hazardous substances are present across a range of industries extending beyond the chemical sector or oil and gas. Some chemicals are inherently dangerous that need to be stored in special containers to avoid contact with air. Others may appear harmless but can cause injury almost immediately upon contact. For many toxic chemicals, the health effects may take a long period of time to develop. Every organization must handle hazardous chemicals effectively in accordance with regulations. The more knowledge you have of the risks, the more effectively you can prevent pollution, personal harm and ill-health to you, your colleagues and the wider community.
