The safe handling and storage of all chemicals requires a commitment by everyone to follow safe work procedures. The realisation of the risks and an ongoing program to minimise the hazards will reduce accidents and make your workplace a safer workplace.

This General Waste Management Safety Program examines methods for classifying various kinds of waste and how best to track and ultimately dispose of them. Topics in the program include waste classification, waste disposal and waste manifests.

Safety Data Sheets can be very challenging to read and understand but they do contain a wealth of information. Having an ability to properly interpret them will make it easier to arrive at informed decisions regarding the use of hazardous substances.

The programs covers what constitutes a hazardous atmosphere, information about air-purifying and details of the different types of air-purifying respirators. The program also looks at filters, fit testing of respirators, maintenance, storage, inspection and danger signals.
