What is the difference between hazardous substances and dangerous goods?
Basically, a hazardous substance is any substance that can harm your health if you’re exposed to it.
A dangerous good, on the other hand, is a substance that presents an immediate danger to people, property or the environment. It includes explosives, flammable liquids and gases, corrosives and toxic substances.
So you can see that many dangerous goods are also classified as hazardous substances.
In this section, we’ll look at the hazardous substances and dangerous goods you’re likely to come across in the flooring industry. We’ll discuss the safety considerations you need to keep in mind when you’re using, transporting or storing these products, as well as what to do in the event of a spill.
