Handle Hazardous Materials Safely & Ensure Workplace Compliance
Workers handling hazardous materials face serious risks, including toxic exposure, chemical burns, and environmental contamination. HAZMAT Training is essential for ensuring OSHA compliance and equipping employees with the knowledge to handle, store, and transport hazardous substances safely.
The Importance of HAZMAT Training - A Historical Perspective
One of the most infamous hazardous material disasters in history was the Bhopal Gas Tragedy in 1984, where a toxic chemical leak affected over half a million people. This catastrophe underscored the urgent need for strict hazardous material handling and safety training.
Following this and other industrial accidents, OSHA and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) established stringent HAZMAT safety protocols, including mandatory training for workers exposed to hazardous materials.
