It is important to acquire the knowledge necessary to recognise potential exposure pathways and evaluate the risks associated with hazardous chemicals. We will discuss simple methods for assessing risks, as well as the process of ranking control options based on the outcomes of the evaluation.

Managing Your Exposure

Examine several approaches of limiting exposure to dangerous drugs. We'll discuss doable steps to reduce risk, such as engineering controls and personal protective equipment (PPE). A safe working environment must be ensured by effective management mechanisms.

Managing and Preserving

Learn the right way to handle and store dangerous things. This lesson stresses how important it is to follow safety rules so that accidents and exposure don't happen. In order to keep yourself and others safe, you need to know how to handle and store these things safely.
