Chemical handling is never just about compliance—it is about protecting lives, preventing injuries, and safeguarding your environment. Whether you work in agriculture, manufacturing, hospitality, construction, or health care, chemical safety matters.
Many Australian businesses, especially in the rural and remote sectors, rely on chemicals daily. Yet, without the right training, your team may be exposed to dangerous risks—including spills, toxic reactions, and long-term health consequences.
At All About Online Training, we make chemical handling simple, practical, and fully compliant.
Why Chemical Handling Training Is Essential
Chemicals are everywhere—cleaning agents, fuels, pesticides, solvents, and more.
One mistake can lead to serious injury, illness, or environmental harm.
Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws require that all workers using hazardous substances are trained.
Safe chemical practices reduce downtime, improve team safety, and lower legal risk.
Rural teams often work without immediate help—training becomes your first line of defence.

How to Implement Chemical Handling Systems In Your Business
As a business owner, ensuring the safety of your employees and customers should be a top priority. If your business involves handling chemicals or hazardous materials, you must implement adequate measures to reduce the risks of accidents and injuries.
Before you can implement any safety measures, you need to identify the hazards and risks associated with the chemicals you handle. Understanding the properties and characteristics of each chemical, such as its flammability, toxicity, and reactivity, is critical to establishing the necessary requirements for handling and storage. Make sure to read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each chemical, which provides information about its hazards, safe handling requirements, and emergency response procedures.
