Hazardous materials 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 minimize exposure and prevent accidents during storage, transportation, and disposal. Key practices in hazardous materials handling include using protective gear, following safety protocols, and maintaining clear labeling. Organizations often implement OSHA guidelines and EPA regulations to ensure compliance and protect workers and the community. Regular training and emergency response plans are also critical components of effective hazardous materials management.
