Chemicals are used for many applications in offices, laboratories, workshops and outdoors.
Laboratories and workshops, in particular, may handle, use and store a large range of chemicals, some of which have the potential to affect people's health and cause damage to property or the environment. When working with chemicals and scientific equipment, knowledge of appropriate safety protocols and procedures is essential.
