HAZMAT

HAZMAT, short for hazardous materials, refers to substances or items that pose risks to health, safety, or the environment due to their chemical, physical, or biological properties. These materials can be flammable, toxic, corrosive, reactive, or radioactive. Proper handling, packaging, storage, and transportation are essential to prevent accidents and exposure. Special regulations and trained personnel are involved in managing HAZMAT to ensure safety and minimize environmental damage. Understanding and adhering to these protocols helps protect workers, the public, and the planet from potential harm caused by dangerous materials.
