Workplace Safety and Health Guidelines Management of Hazardous Chemicals Programme. Welcome to “Safe at Work: Handling Hazardous Chemicals.” This book is your guide to ensuring workplaces are safe and healthy, especially when dealing with dangerous chemicals.
Chemicals are used extensively in industry. Many useful products such as paints, plastics, adhesives, detergents, and pharmaceuticals are derived from chemicals. However, it is important to exercise caution in the usage of chemicals. Some chemicals are inherently dangerous that need to be stored in special containers to avoid contact with air. Others may appear harmless but can cause injury almost immediately upon contact. For many toxic chemicals, the health effects may take a long period of time to develop.
