Hazardous Material Handling
Hazardous material handling involves the safe management of substances that can pose risks to health, safety, or the environment. This includes chemicals, biological agents, and radioactive materials. Proper training and equipment are essential to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with regulations.
Key practices in hazardous material handling include proper labeling, storage, and disposal. Workers must use personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safety protocols to minimize exposure. Organizations often implement Safety Data Sheets (SDS) to provide information on handling and emergency measures for specific materials.
