Safe work with hazardous chemicals can only be accomplished with proper control measures. Proper control measures include the use of engineering controls, appropriate storage and handling of chemicals, the use of personal protective equipment, and proper use and maintenance of safety equipment. Carefully implemented control measures can reduce or eliminate the risk of employee exposure to hazardous chemicals.
