Chemical Safety

Chemical safety involves the practice of handling chemicals and chemistry processes to minimize danger, injury, and risks. Chemical safety training is essential for understanding the physical and chemical hazards involved. Failure to understand chemical hazards is a liability because it often leads to employee injuries or expensive cleanup. These resources will provide you with tools to help understand chemical safety and create appropriate safety policies and procedures.
