Awareness Workshop on the Risks of Chemical Waste and Methods for Safe Disposal

College of Education for Pure Sciences Organizes an Awareness Workshop on the Risks of Chemical Waste and Methods for Safe Disposal

The College of Education for Pure Sciences organized an awareness workshop on chemical waste as part of its continuous efforts to enhance the culture of laboratory safety and environmental awareness among students, as well as academic and technical staff.

The workshop featured a theoretical component that provided a comprehensive definition of chemical waste, detailing its types and sources. It highlighted the hazards of improper handling of chemicals within laboratories and the potentially severe health and environmental consequences resulting from such practices.

Furthermore, the workshop included a detailed explanation of the mechanisms for safe chemical handling, waste classification methods, and scientific disposal techniques that comply with approved safety standards. The event also included a practical session conducted within the laboratories, where correct procedures for managing chemicals and their resulting waste were implemented. This session aimed to consolidate theoretical concepts and transform them into sound practical applications.
