Training course

The Chemistry Department at the College of Education for Pure Sciences held a training course on (Indicative and Warning Signs for Chemical Substances (MSDS) in Chemistry Laboratories) delivered by Assistant Lecturer (Hanan Qais Saadoun), Assistant Lecturer (Zahraa Mushtaq Abdel-Imam), and Chemistry Assistant (Nour Jabbar Hashem). 
The course aimed to identify the general precautions that must be available in chemical laboratories and to know the common and flammable chemicals commonly used in laboratories.
The training course also included several topics related to the classification and control of chemical risks. In addition to knowing the safety precautions for chemical materials, through which the main risks are identified. We also identified some warning instructions placed on chemical containers that must be known so that we can deal with the materials correctly.
Researchers have called for attention to such topics to emphasize the importance of studying the risks of chemicals when used in laboratories, whether they are health risks, which include several categories such as acute toxicity, corrosion, irritation, and how to treat them, or the risks of contact with harmful chemicals to ensure the safety of laboratory workers.
