Hazardous materials (chemical products) are used in practically every workplace. There are approximately 600,000 chemical products in the world today. Hundreds of new chemicals are introduced every year. These numbers place 32 million workers in situations of potential exposure to one or more chemical hazards everyday. Some of these chemical products pose little danger to you, while others are deadly. Modern manufacturing would not be possible without chemicals. However, like machinery or electrical equipment, you must know how to use chemicals safely. The first step in using chemicals safely is to recognize those materials that may be hazardous to your health or physical safety.
