Hazardous Material (OSHA)

Hazardous Material (OSHA) refers to substances that pose risks to health, safety, or the environment when handled or stored improperly. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) sets regulations to ensure workers are protected from exposure to these dangerous materials through proper labeling, training, handling procedures, and safety equipment. This includes chemicals, toxins, flammable substances, and biomedical waste. The goal is to prevent injuries, illnesses, or accidents by promoting safe practices and compliance in workplaces that manage hazardous materials.
