Handling toxic chemicals requires strict adherence to safety protocols. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats. Work in well-ventilated areas or under fume hoods to minimize inhalation risks. Proper storage is crucial – keep toxic chemicals in clearly labeled, tightly sealed containers and in designated storage areas. Ensure that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are readily available and that all personnel are trained to understand and follow these guidelines.
