Why hazardous materials testing matters
Hazardous materials and substances are found in most workplaces, from cleaning detergent to industrial lubricant or chemical components used in the manufacturing process. The quantity and type differ from one workplace to another.
Identifying and safely handling these materials is vital to workplace health and safety, minimising the risk of workplace incidents and ensuring ongoing compliance with industry regulations.
