Chemical Hazard and Safety Management Challenges Faced by Universities 1) Inaccessible SDSs: Universities often struggle to provide easy access to the required SDSs on time. This is making it difficult for students and staff to quickly find critical information about the chemicals, especially when required. 2) Inappropriate Hazard Communication: Poor communication of chemical hazards can lead to misunderstandings about the dangers of certain substances, increasing the risk of accidents in laboratories and storage areas. 3) Swift access of all Safety Documents: During emergencies, it’s essential to have quick access to all safety documents. However, universities often face delays in retrieving important safety information, which can slow down response efforts. 4) Insufficient Circulation of Safety Information: Not everyone in the university may receive updated safety information, leaving some unaware of new hazards or updated protocols. This problem is common when an organization decides to handle chemical safety management manually. cloudsds.com
