Information about the safe handling of hazardous materials can be found from many sources depending on the situation and type of hazardous material being handled. The first place to go is the Material Safety Data Sheet of the material. These can be obtained from the manufacturer of the product. You might also try contacting you local Health Department, the Environmental Protection Agency (RPA). Another good source is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Your local fire department might also have some information.
