Additional properties may be included if they are useful.
V. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
This section describe exposure limit of hazarded and personal protective measure that can be used to control and minimized worker exposure. Personal protective equipment that should be used if there is a potential for exposure above the regulatory or suggested limits, then it can be used to avoid injury and illness from exposure of chemical. Personal protective equipment is specific for eye, skin and face or respiratory equipment based on hazarded and potential exposure.
VI. FIRE and EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA: This section should describe fire and explosive properties of the material, extinguishing media to be used, and fire-fighting instructions. It applies to anyone who may be in the area of the

First Aid: This section describes emergency action and response of emergency which we are done. It should include first aid procedure to be taken in the event of exposure.Neccessary first aid instruction by relevant route of exposure of hazarded, symptoms or effect of chemical and special treatment.
IX. TOXICOLOGY & HEALTH HAZERED DATA:
This section gives information on toxicity of substance and health effect, defines the medical signs and symptoms that may be encountered with normal exposure or overexposure to the material or its components. In this section tell about rout of chemical hazarded include inhalation skin and eye contact , description of effect from short and long term exposure. Data should be included for acute, sub chronic and chronic exposures, if available.

For assignment Module 1.4, I have chosen the chemical substance of Asbestos. I have decided to select Asbestos, since I have been exposed to asbestos as young man. My father owned a construction company and during the summers, more often than not, I came into direct contact with many Asbestos products. During my time in the Air Force, I also encountered old military buildings which contained Asbestos (paint, insulation, etc.). I had a great uncle that died from mesothelioma which he caught from working as builder, before there was regulation on the use of asbestos.

Section 8 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act (2005) puts the onus on the employer to ensure systems of work that are planned, organised, performed, maintained and revised as appropriate so as to be, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risk to health. Section 19 of the Act requires the employer to conduct a risk assessment of work activities and Schedule 3 of the Act provides the general principles of prevention to ensure the safety of employees in the workplace.
From the creation of the Army’s Technical Escort Unit, there has always been one mission that has never changed; the removal, transportation and disposal of chemical weapons. “The U.S. Army Technical Escort Unit was formed in 1944 and is the longest, continuously active, military chemical unit in existence... The unit was formed as a group of specialist to escort chemical weapons”(Cashman, 2000, p. 104). Although this mission type has not faded, the overall mission of these units has expanded to a larger arena.
Workplace safety is a commonly used phrase that many do not consider until an accident occurs within the workplace. Throughout the U.S., workplace injuries occur on a daily basis. This has been an issue in the workforce for many years and is still an ongoing issue. Are there laws that protect employees from an unsafe work environment; what is the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA); and how did the labor unions affect the law? In this paper these following questions will be addressed, as well as the background and driving force of OSHA.

Chemical and fire hazards in the workplace cause serious injuries that in most cases are fatal.
Hazardous material accidents are common in warehouses and industries, the employ should provide a safe place to store the hazardous material, and the workers should have a good knowledge about how to response with that accidents and how to use the correct PPE and what control measures should be taken in that kind of accidents.

A hazard is a potential damage, adverse health or harm that may effects something or someone at any conditions. Other than that, the risk may be high or low, that somebody could be harmed depending on the hazards. Risk assessment is a practice that helps to improve higher quality of the develop process and manufacturing process. It is also a step to examine the failure modes of the product in order to achieve higher standard of safety and product reliability. Unfortunately, it is common that a product safety risk assessments are not undertaken, or not carried out effectively by manufacturer. Mostly an unsafe and unreliable product was produced and launched on to the market. Thus, the safety problems are mostly identified after an accident happened or after manufacturing problems arisen. In order to prevent risk, a person should take enough precautions or should do more to prevent them because as a user should be protected from harm that usually caused by a failure for whom did not take reasonable control measures.
First aid skills and kit is a dire necessity in unfortunate areas prone to accidents and natural calamities. It makes communities aware of the dangers posed to remain prepared for any
Creating the awareness among the students helps them on the various ways to avoid fires. If possible students are advised to ensure that all the fire alarms and extinguishers are in working conditions at all times. They should also be careful and alert when using any appliance that is likely to cause a fire and avoid using anything that is prohibited in the rooms.
House fires are a daily occurrence. In fact, on average, 7 people die in house fires in the U.S. alone. [1] You can prevent house fires by checking faulty wiring, making sure your stove is turned off, and checking to make sure heated beauty products are unplugged among other things. However, sometimes attempting to prevent fires isn’t enough and they occur anyway. Despite this, there are many ways that people can ensure their survival in the unfortunate case of a fire. For example, having fire sprinklers installed in your home, having a fire alarm, and using fire extinguishers.
Chemical hazards are either inhaled or absorbed through the skin or both. It may cause illness to some workers who are sensitive to the chemicals such as skin irritation or respiration problems. Chemical hazards mostly happen in laboratory and factory.
