Material Hazards Material hazards refer to the potential risks, dangers, or adverse effects associated with the handling, use, storage, or disposal of materials, substances, or chemicals in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. Material hazards can arise from various sources, including chemical, physical, biological, and environmental factors, and may pose risks to human health, safety, and the environment.
Common material hazards include toxicity, flammability, corrosivity, reactivity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, allergenicity, and environmental pollution. Identifying, assessing, and mitigating material hazards are essential for implementing effective risk management, hazard control measures, and safety protocols in workplaces, laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and other environments where hazardous materials are present.
