Hazardous Chemicals
Remember that OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is also a major government agency in the US to protect workers.
All work places must keep MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets)on all chemicals used. If you are asked to work with chemicals, you should always ask to read it. An ethical company will always tell employees that they MUST read it.
The level of hazardous chemicals in work place air is also regulated by OSHA. Unfortunately industry profits sometimes come before worker safety.
But for those of us in or 60's or older, these regulations did not come about until late in the 1970s.
Unfortunately, one political party plans to gut all regulations to protect the public and workers to stimulate jobs. Not to be political but it is an issue.
Another suggestion you can visit the FDA website and they will email you when new product recalls or safety issues occur. It is free.
