PowerPoint on dust hazards, their identification and communication.
Biological hazards arise from exposure to hormones, viruses, fungi, bacteria or any other living organisms that can cause harm, illness, or damage to the human body.
Each chemical is different from the next one and therefore each chemical has different characteristics that help define the hazards that may be present.

Example of a document produced after a fatality.
Equipment containment performance: Potent and highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients have the potential to cause serious health effects in workers at very low airborne concentrations. The use of containment equipment as part of a systematic approach to potent compound safety is advised to control worker exposure. However the containment performance of equipment can not be assumed, evaluation of containment performance, using a standardised approach, should be adopted.
