Prevention must always come first when it comes to storing and handling dangerous liquids in your workplace. This approach will help ensure that while chemical spills cannot be avoided entirely, the chances of them occurring will be minimised and any incident will be handled safely.

The label must have the liquid's common chemical name, its physical and health hazards, and the name of the manufacturer. All this information will help ensure that you know what you are dealing with and the necessary steps you need to take in the event of a spill.
