Chemical Hazards: Risks Associated with Chemistry Laboratories & Processing Environments

For Joining Instructions and to Register with Hawkins see: Chemical Hazards: Risks Associated with Chemistry Laboratories & Processing Environments

Presenter: Benedict Barron - Hawkins Forensic Investigation

Overview: Ben discusses some of the inherent chemical hazards found in chemistry laboratories and processing areas. 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.
