4. Work in a Well-Ventilated Area : Use chemical products in well-ventilated spaces to reduce vapour or gas exposure. Indoors, ensure ample ventilation via mechanical systems, fume hoods, or open windows and doors.

5. Avoid Mixing Chemicals : Avoid mixing chemical products unless directed by the manufacturer or a qualified professional. Incompatible mixes can lead to hazardous reactions, toxic gas releases, or explosions.

6. Labeling and Storage : Label chemical containers with product names, hazards, and handling information. Store in original or approved containers.

7. Prevent Contamination : Prevent cross-contamination with dedicated equipment or thorough decontamination. Keep food, drinks, and personal items away from chemical storage or work zones.

8. Emergency Procedures : Learn emergency procedures for spills, leaks, fires, or exposure incidents. Keep spill control materials, fire extinguishers, and emergency eyewash/shower facilities accessible.

9. First Aid : Know first aid for chemical exposure (eye contact, skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion). Ensure accessible supplies and trained personnel for assistance.

10. Proper Waste Disposal : Ensure chemical waste disposal as per local regulations; segregate hazardous from non-hazardous waste for health and environmental protection.

11. Training and Education : Offer thorough training to chemical handlers, covering usage, hazards, safety, and emergency response.

12. Report Incidents and Near Misses : Report incidents, near misses, spills, or safety concerns promptly to authorities and supervisors for investigation and action. By following these safety and handling guidelines, you can minimize risks associated with chemical products and create a safer work environment for yourself and others.
