Chemicals Management
Chemicals management refers to the systematic approach of handling chemicals safely and responsibly throughout their lifecycle. This includes the processes of acquiring, using, storing, and disposing of chemicals in a way that minimizes risks to human health and the environment. Effective chemicals management ensures compliance with regulations and promotes sustainable practices.
Key components of chemicals management include proper labeling, safety data sheets, and training for personnel who handle chemicals. Organizations often implement hazardous materials assessments and risk management strategies to identify potential dangers and establish protocols for safe usage and emergency response.
