Chemical Handling
Chemical handling refers to the safe management and use of chemicals in various settings, such as laboratories, industries, and households. It involves understanding the properties of different chemicals, including their potential hazards, and following proper procedures to minimize risks. This includes using personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and goggles, and ensuring proper storage and labeling of chemicals.
Proper chemical handling also requires knowledge of emergency procedures in case of spills or accidents. Training in hazard communication and material safety data sheets (MSDS) is essential for anyone working with chemicals. By adhering to safety guidelines, individuals can prevent accidents and ensure a safe working environment.
