The Substance Regulatory Authority has updated handling protocols for toxic materials used in industrial and laboratory settings.
These enhanced safety standards aim to reduce the risk of accidents, environmental contamination, and exposure to hazardous chemicals. Companies are now required to implement stricter storage, transportation, and employee training procedures.
Key changes include:
- Improved labeling and classification of hazardous substances
- Mandatory employee safety training and certification programs
- Increased frequency of inspections by regulatory authorities
The new regulations also encourage companies to adopt safer alternatives where possible and to report incidents promptly. Facilities handling toxic materials are advised to conduct internal audits and update their safety manuals to align with the revised standards.
Failure to comply may result in severe penalties, including fines, suspension of operations, or revocation of licenses. For detailed guidance and compliance resources, check the official documentation.
