How can we help?

Managing chemicals in the workplace can be a never-ending responsibility that environmental, health, and safety (EHS) professionals must oversee daily. Chemical safety management can be a comprehensive task, but understanding the pain points and how to effectively alleviate them can make life easier when managing chemicals.

Chemicals are present in our everyday lives. We are exposed to chemicals from cleaning products in our homes to industrial chemicals in our workplaces. Chemicals can contain hazardous constituents with the possibility of causing harm to people and the environment and can cause damage if not used, managed, or stored correctly. Workers must be trained in the chemicals that have the potential to affect them to prevent injury, illness, death, property damage, or environmental contamination. Therefore, training chemical safety in the workplace is crucial to ensuring a safe and healthy work environment.

There are several pieces of legislation that govern SDS’s, both on a national and international level. In this blog, we will take a look at some of these key regulations:

Understanding SDS Section 2 will help you identify hazard symbols and meanings and enable you to take necessary precautions.

It’s fairly obvious that safety and health hazards can exist on worksites filled with heavy machinery and equipment, where employees often are required to engage in strenuous manual labor.    A job where most of the work tasks are completed while sitting in a chair in a climate-controlled office building would seem less fraught with danger. However, a surprising number of hazards can be present in an office setting.

Health and safety committees are an essential component of any effective workplace health and safety program. They play a critical role in identifying, assessing, and managing risks to health and safety in the workplace, and in promoting a culture of safety among employees. However, setting up an effective health and safety committee can be a complex and challenging process, requiring careful planning, communication, and collaboration. This article will provide practical guidance on how to set up an effective health and safety committee, including key steps to take, best practices to follow, and common challenges to anticipate. Whether you are setting up a new committee or looking to improve an existing one, this article will help you establish a strong foundation for workplace health and safety that will benefit your employees, your organization, and your community.

Establishing as strong health and safety conscious work environment is a major challenge for most organizations.

Kjemiske stoffer og produkter er en viktig del av det daglige arbeidsmiljøet på mange norske arbeidsplasser. Flere av disse kan utgjøre en stor risiko for både helse og miljø. Ved å erstatte farlige stoffer og produkter med mindre skadelige alternativer reduserer du risiko. Samtidig sørger du for at du lever opp til regelverket og skaper et tryggere arbeidsmiljø.
