- Product storage and handling must comply with local regulations.
- All employees must receive induction and training on chemical safety, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be available and used by all employees.
- You must conduct a formal risk assessment of your raw material inventory and ensure products are safely stored and appropriately managed when not in use.
- Subject to the type and amount of dangerous products in your workplace, you must ensure that placard and manifest requirements are satisfied.
