and managing chemical spills. During this program, group discussion and demonstration

Chemicals Handling at Workplace is one crucial agenda that requires special attention in
accordance to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994. Most companies
are aware of this and include the importance of complying the acts in the companies’
policies. However, due to some reasons many fail to implement and instill the chemicals
handling among their safety and health committee members and workers. As a result
many employees are not aware of their rights, responsibilities and duties that lead to
occupational disease and poisoning. This one-day program attempts to give some
exposures of related regulations for chemicals management, handling, storage and
labelling of hazardous materials to ensure a safe, healthy and conducive working
environment for everyone.
