Conducting a risk assessment involves several steps:
Identify Hazards: List all chemicals and materials used in catalytic processes and identify their potential hazards. Refer to Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for information on each chemical. Evaluate Risks: Assess the likelihood and severity of potential incidents. Consider factors such as the quantity of chemicals, operational conditions, and the potential for exposure. Implement Controls: Establish measures to mitigate identified risks. This may include engineering controls, administrative controls, and the use of PPE. Review and Update: Regularly review and update the risk assessment to account for changes in processes, materials, or regulations.
