Measures for the placement of awareness on health and safety in working with chemicals

Asecure working environment, giving priority to human health and environment in the study and selection of substances used, meeting the needs and requirements of education are very crucial matters in order to create conscious generations in the future. A safe working environment can only be achieved by establishing healthy working standards. Causes are evaluated by examining the sources and results, and improvements are made. Having a look at our country, the vast majority of incidents taking place in the use of chemicals happens as a result of unconscious use and insufficient precautions. Every single individual and material involved in the work environment is among the sources of accidents. Improvements could be efficient by evaluating the factor, the individual and the evaluation of these observations. Bringing lasting solutions to our incidents, minimizing them can only be overcome by focusing on the factors causing the accidents. It would be much easier to reach the correct methods only if mistakes are known and be aware. Chemicals are increasingly taking place in our current lives and jeoperdize our future. Also, increasing by-products and varieties bring a lot of risks and threats. These substances, which are diversified very fast, appear as protective or side effects in food additives, cleaning products, insect counties, pesticides and human health drugs. Today, the importance given to organic cultivation and nutrition has gone up, however, artificial substances remain in most of important areas that we cannot be given up. These new artificial substances formed by natural reactions by chemical reactions are named as chemicals. Chemical production is going up in every single field. Majority of them do not disappear spontaneously in nature and cannot be recovered. Consequently, it is very important to use as secure as production. Placing the awareness of working with chemicals, detailing them according to education levels and working environment, organising training for the chemicals used and instilling this awareness from an early age is the greatest investment to be made in a safe working environment. The content of the chemicals used and the accidents that happened in the past will lead to a big extent in taking necessary precautions. The experience of chemical knowledge gained in previous studies and the use of improved protective equipment will also benefit a lot. However, most importantly, progress can be successed through training that responds to needs and requirements. With the help of more conscious students, educators and employees, before training with hazardous chemicals, chemical accidents can be eliminated or reduced to a much lower level. It is possible to establish occupational health and safety awareness in working with dangerous chemicals with the precautions to be taken in the education sector and the trainings to be given. Fundamentally instilled knowledge and awareness can create more conscious generations and users no doubt. With this consciousness, protective and preventive measures can be developed and improved more rapidly.
