HAZCHEM (Hazardous Chemical Alert)
HAZCHEM (Hazardous Chemical Alert) is an official business definition used in procurement to alert businesses and stakeholders to dangerous chemicals. It is designed to protect personnel and the environment from hazardous materials by ensuring that buyers and suppliers understand the risks associated with their use, handling, transport and storage. HAZCHEM regulations also put strict requirements on packaging, labeling, safety data sheets, transportation, and disposal of hazardous substances. All personnel involved in handling hazardous chemicals should be fully aware of HAZCHEM requirements and its importance to ensure safe operations.
