Abstract

Chemical exposure represents a significant occupational health and safety concern in the chemical
industry. Effectively addressing these hazards requires teamwork among various occupational health
and safety experts, such as general OHS professionals, occupational hygienists, and occupational
health practitioners. This research focuses on analyzing hazards and developing control measures for
industrial chemicals, evaluating their toxicity, and using these assessments in regulatory decision
making. It starts by addressing the availability of toxicological data and the process of hazard
identification. Next, it delves into risk assessment and occupational exposure limits. The study also
examines specific toxicological issues with unresolved scientific consensus. It provides a historical
context of chemical reactivity and toxicity, explores both acute and chronic exposure, and outlines
chemical hazard classification systems. Additionally, it details the procedures for identifying, assessing,
and managing chemical hazards.

Keywords: Workplace safety, chemical laboratories, hazards, occupational safety, health analysis (OSH), hazard identification, risk assessment (HIRA), failure mode and effective analysis (FMEA), experimental approaches, risk calculation, risk priority number (RPN) number calculation
