When you hear the term “chemical exposure,” you probably think of a major disaster, perhaps a massive chemical spill that affects an entire factory. However, many people do not realize that most workers use or work around chemicals each day. Just about any workplace has some kind of chemical present or hazardous toxin present that can cause harm to a worker. In some cases, the chemicals are simple cleaning supplies. Other industries rely on hazardous chemicals as a major part of their operations.

The effects of chemical exposure on workers vary depending on what chemicals the worker has been exposed to and in what quantities.
The most common injuries associated with workplace chemical exposure include:
Some chemical exposure injuries are immediately apparent, particularly when the body comes into contact with a corrosive substance or suffers from a chemical burn. However, some chemical exposures cause chronic conditions or cancers that may not show signs and symptoms until years after the actual exposure happened.
Employers must work to prevent workplace chemical exposure by ensuring all workers have the proper safety gear and training necessary. All chemicals should be properly labeled and handled by employers.
