ABSTRACT
There are several ways to use chemicals wisely. One can reduce both the probability and consequences of accidents to negligible levels. Use of chemical substances is always associated with risks. However, these risks can be minimized with knowledge, proper use, and good practices. In other words, safety from chemical substances depends on knowledge, judicious use, safe practices, appropriate methods of engineering controls, proper use of personal protective equipment, use of minimum quantities of materials, and substitution of a less hazardous chemical substance when possible.
