What Are the Key Steps in Managing Chemical Risks?
Effective chemical risk management involves several key steps:
Identification: Recognizing the presence of hazardous chemicals in the workplace or environment. Evaluation: Assessing the potential exposure and health effects associated with the chemical. Control: Implementing measures such as engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure. Monitoring: Continuously assessing the effectiveness of control measures and making adjustments as needed. Communication and Training: Educating workers and the public about chemical hazards and safe handling practices.
