ABSTRACT

Hazard is a term associated with substances that has the potential to cause injury in a given environment or situation. Industrial hazards in manufacturing are major occupational health and safety issues. In recent years chemical safety and sound management of chemicals have seen great progress on a global scale. At the same time, the rapid increase in the production and proliferation of chemicals, both natural and synthetic, has raised concerns about their impact on the natural environment and human health. In this way industry has come to a unique position. Practically no other commercial enterprise exists such as the wide variety of potentially toxic exposures or the rapidly changing arrival of new chemical substances. In industry, this dynamic situation has been created by the increasing application of organic chemical synthesis as a technology for the production of therapeutic substances. This is what makes the job of a plant physician so instructive. Industrial safety is required to investigate all possible possibilities of accidents to prevent loss of life and permanent disability of any industrial worker, any damage to machine and material causing damage to the whole establishment.
