We use more hazardous chemicals in our everyday activities than we are aware of. This is especially true in a workplace environment. But do you know how to store chemicals in the workplace correctly?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impact of mismanagement of hazardous substances, poor safety and accidents can be fatal or result in serious injuries, with research indicating that up to a quarter of UK workers<\/a> are exposed to a hazardous substance in some way in the workplace.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chemicals have the potential to cause harm to people and the environment. The label or packaging of the hazardous chemical explains what the hazards are and how to avoid them. In the workplace under CoSHH, it\u2019s the employers responsibility to make sure hazardous substances used are properly identified and stored in a lockable cupboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
