Chemical Hazards: A Type of Hazard in the Workplace

In this video I will be giving a brief overview of Chemical Hazards, which is an important type of occupational hazard that a worker can be potentially exposed to!

We will be going over what the physical and chemical properties of substances are which cause them to be hazardous. We discuss the various health effects from chemical exposure. Finally we discuss various ways of managing chemical exposure risk in the workplace using the hierarchy of controls.

Hi Occ Doc, I was wondering if you will be making a video for the new Psychosocial Regulations? I am really enjoying your videos and hope that you will.

Thank that some Doctors and good Nurses still care enough to stand for Humanity. I threw my back out a few days ago and my pain medication is a few glass' of wine. Can't afford Opioids and don't want to get on them.( Good Doctors and Nurses warned me about those .) I'm working for a Temp Agency that works for a Hospital and don't feel they are using the proper P.P.
