Hazardous Material Identification

Hazardous Material Identification involves recognizing and classifying substances that pose risks to health, safety, or the environment. This process includes analyzing labels, safety data sheets, and physical properties to determine potential dangers like toxicity, flammability, or corrosiveness. Proper identification ensures that these materials are handled, stored, and transported safely, and that appropriate precautions are taken to prevent accidents or exposure. Essentially, it’s about understanding the specific hazards associated with a material so that safety protocols can be implemented to protect people and the environment.
