The session not only helped community members gain a better understanding of key concepts related to chemicals but also offered effective methods and regulations to prevent and manage chemical incidents.

Master Nguyễn Duy Sơn began by explaining the basic concepts and symbols of "hazardous chemicals." He noted that hazardous chemicals could cause immediate or long-term harm, depending on the level and duration of exposure. The toxicity of chemicals can damage internal organs, the nervous system, skin, and eyes, and may accumulate in the body, leading to long-term health issues.

Next, the speaker analyzed various chemical incidents that might occur during production and use. These incidents could include leaks, explosions, or direct exposure to workers without proper protective measures. Such incidents not only cause significant property damage but also severely impact human health and lives.

Chemical incidents not only result in material loss but also degrade the living environment. Mr. Sơn shared examples of chemical accidents, from large-scale explosions to minor laboratory mishaps, emphasizing that whether minor or major, timely preparation is crucial for effective handling.

A significant part of the session was dedicated to discussing industrial chemical activities, including production, storage, transportation, and chemical waste management. These stages must comply with strict safety regulations. In production, technical standards must be ensured, and the use of hazardous chemicals avoided. Chemical storage and transportation should be conducted under safe conditions to prevent spills or leaks. Proper disposal of chemical waste is especially important to prevent environmental pollution.

By strictly managing these chemical activities, we can significantly reduce potential risks and ensure that chemical usage processes are always carried out safely.

In the final part of the session, Master Nguyễn Duy Sơn emphasized the legal regulations concerning chemical safety, including labor safety laws, chemical storage standards, and incident reporting requirements. He particularly highlighted that prevention is key to ensuring chemical safety. Specifically, businesses and production facilities need to train employees, equipping them with knowledge about chemicals, safe handling practices, and incident response techniques. Additionally, procedures must be clearly defined and strictly followed to avoid unexpected incidents.

Most importantly, having an emergency response plan in place is crucial. This includes first aid measures, isolating hazardous areas, and reporting to relevant authorities.

Concluding the session, Mr. Sơn encouraged everyone, from workers to managers, to continuously update their knowledge and adhere to chemical safety regulations to protect community health and the environment. The session enhanced participants' awareness and responsibility in chemical safety practices.
