RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CHEMISTRY LABORATORIES & PROCESSING ENVIRONMENTS
This webinar will begin at 9.30am BST
In this presentation, Forensic Chemistry Expert Dr Ben Barron discusses some of the inherent chemical hazards found in chemistry laboratories and processing areas, applicable to both academic and industrial settings. He will focus on hazards associated with chemical compatibility and reactivity, the use of flammable solvents, and chemical exposure.
These hazards can pose risk of fires, chemical spills, overpressure events and personal injury, sometimes with catastrophic outcomes. Ben will briefly explore the main contributing factors that exacerbate the frequency of such events and how these can be mitigated.
