II.) Understand hazards, handling procedures, and emergency measures for each chemical.

III.) Use designated storage areas with proper ventilation, temperature control, and segregation based on chemical compatibility.

IV.) Avoid spills, leaks, and mixing incompatible chemicals. Use appropriate tools and equipment for handling.

V.) Adhere to manufacturer instructions and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for handling, transferring, and disposing of chemicals.

VI.) Ensure containers are properly labeled with chemical names, hazards, and handling instructions.

VII.) Know emergency procedures, including spill response, first aid, and evacuation protocols.
