Toxic and Chemical Management

Toxics and chemical management involve minimizing exposure to hazardous chemicals and ensuring the safe handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste:

Reduce exposure: Change processes to minimize contact with hazardous chemicals, use wet methods, and use fume hoods.

Store safely: Store chemicals safely and out of the reach of children. Keep chemicals in their original containers and avoid storing them in drinking bottles.

Handle safely: Read the label carefully and follow the instructions before using a product. Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing, eye protection, and face protection. Wash thoroughly after handling.
