Hazardous materials handling involves the safe management of substances that can pose risks to health, safety, or the environment. These materials can include chemicals, biological agents, and radioactive materials. Proper handling ensures that workers and the public are protected from potential exposure or accidents. Key practices in hazardous materials handling include proper labeling, storage, and disposal. Workers must be trained to recognize hazards and use personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary. Regulations, such as those set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), guide organizations in maintaining safety standards and compliance.
