Health Effects of Chemicals in the Workplace

Chemicals are the backbone of various industries, driving manufacturing processes and innovation. Their versatility makes them indispensable in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, construction, and more. However, this widespread reliance on chemicals also exposes workers to potential health effects and hazards. Without proper precautions, they may face risks such as skin irritation, eye damage, respiratory issues, or even long-term health problems.

Understanding these risks is paramount. Chemicals can disrupt normal bodily functions, with some being corrosive or toxic. Hence, industries must prioritise safety measures, utilising appropriate chemical PPE, and strict adherence to guidelines to ensure the well-being of their workforce.
