Chemicals

The Chemicals Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) sets out how to handle, store and use chemicals safely in the workplace, from purchasing and preparing for use to decanting, mixing and spray application.

It covers the precautions and worker training, the hazards (chemicals, fire, hazardous vapours, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, and storage and decanting locations, including ventilation and lighting.

An employee training and induction register records each worker's training and competencies.
