chemical safety standards

Chemical safety standards are rules designed to protect people and the environment from the potential dangers of chemicals. They set guidelines for proper handling, storage, use, and disposal of chemicals to prevent accidents and health issues. These standards specify safe exposure levels, proper labeling, personal protective equipment, and emergency procedures. Regulatory agencies enforce these standards to ensure workplaces and laboratories maintain safe conditions. Adhering to chemical safety standards helps minimize risks such as fires, poisoning, and environmental contamination, promoting a safe environment for workers and communities.
