Chemical safety is a system of standard operating procedures that receives, transports, stores, uses and disposes of chemicals in a safe and prudent manner. This process actually begins before a chemical is even ordered, and it doesn't end until the substance is properly disposed of.
The system is a living system, growing, changing and adapting to the potential dangers of the substances that are being used. It is also a partnership - one between labor and management designed to produce what all parties want: a safe work environment.
