HAZMAT (Hazardous Materials)

HAZMAT, short for Hazardous Materials, refers to substances that pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment due to their chemical nature. This includes a wide range of materials, such as explosives, flammable liquids, toxic substances, and radioactive materials. HAZMAT can be found in industries, laboratories, and even in household products. Proper handling, storage, and disposal of HAZMAT are crucial to prevent accidents and mitigate risks. Regulations and training are in place to ensure that those who work with these materials do so safely and responsibly, protecting both people and the environment.
