CHEMICAL USE

Handling or coming into contact with chemicals occurs everyday to millions of workers. For most of us it is unavoidable but also not harmful, and that makes all the difference. Many of the products that we use at work to manufacture goods or use to perform some task are comprised of chemical ingredients. The big question is whether any of these ingredients are hazardous to our health.

How does a worker or a company determine if a product is or has the potential to be harmful?.. by obtaining necessary and mandatory information such as Material Safety Data Sheets and learning how to interpret the information.

Assuming a company has identified or inventoried all the products they use and assessed their potential for being harmful to employees that may come into contact with them, then the next step is to communicate these hazards to affected employees and implement control measures to reduce or eliminate exposure.

It sounds simple...but it is not. It requires participation by both the company and their employees. It involves establishing effective communication and ensuring there are adequate availability to learning materials.
