The label and the safety data sheet come first.
Chemical handling covers identifying a substance, understanding its hazards, and handling, storing and responding to it correctly.
Overview
Chemical handling goes wrong at three points: storage, transfer and use. Each depends on knowing what the substance is and what it can do, which is why the label and the safety data sheet come first.
The programme covers reading that information, choosing the correct protective equipment for each substance, keeping incompatible materials apart, and responding to a spill or release. It applies across production, laboratory and maintenance work.
