Chemical Safety

Less than 10% of nearly 50,000 commonly used industrial chemicals have had a complete toxicological survey done and their MSDS sheets can often be difficult to comprehend. Chemical Safety is a layman's guide to chemical terminology that explains critical chemical terms and concepts in easy to understand terminology.


Employees, ask yourselves...

• There are at least 5 to 6 million chemicals, with at least 64,000 of them known to be hazardous- are you ready to handle even a small percentage of them?
• Do you understand what common chemicals can combine and react with hazardous, possibly life-threatening results?
• Is that dust you're breathing just an irritant or is it carcinogenic ?
• You, the employee, have the right and the need to know these things and much more!

Employers, ask yourselves...

• Do you know which of the known 5 to 6 million chemicals are hazardous to people and the environment?
• Can you evaluate and communicate information about these hazardous chemicals to your employees?
• Are you prepared to meet the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard? Failure to meet this standard results in more citations from OSHA than anything.

Whether you're an employer or employee if you can't quickly answer all of these questions then you want Chemical Safety! Keep your employees safe and your company profitable- order Chemical Safety now!
