INTRODUCTION OF SAFE HANDLING OF HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL

A great deal of attention has been focused on the health effects of chemicals in recent years. Many chemicals which were regarded as safe many years ago have been linked with illnesses to more chronic and fatal cancers. Although much has been learn about chemicals toxicity from studying disease and laboratory studies there are far too many chemicals used in commerce today whose harmful effects unknown. It is therefore important to threat all chemicals with care including those harmful effects are known, to avoid future consequences.
