There are approximately 50,000 different chemicals used worldwide, many of which are classified as hazardous substances. Incorrect transport, use, handling, storage and disposal of hazardous substances can result in:
? personal injury and illness;
? fatalities;
? fire and explosion; and
? environmental damage.
However, with the correct information and proper care, hazardous substances can be used and handled
safely. While it is not possible to discuss every hazardous substance used, we will look at the basic safety concerns.
