Hazardous Materials
Most of us work with some type of hazardous materials (hazmat) in our jobs, whether it be in a lab setting (solvents, corrosives), clinical setting (hazardous drugs), or even an office setting (cleaning products). It’s important to know the hazards of the hazmat you work with, and to know how to properly order, work with and dispose of it.
