Hazardous material may be kept in the workplace as long as they are useful, although some particular materials should be discarded a short time (often 3-6 months) after first opening their containers, because they can become more hazardous.
Hazardous waste may be kept in the workplace for a limited period that depends on the country in which they are located and the size and permit provisions of the company involved.

An container of hazardous materials must state safety instructions on the label. Any such hazardous materials must have been assessed by the company or employer before using in any manufacturing process, and any relevant safety information must be passed on to the employee as part of the training. As following safety regulations in the workplace is compulsory by law (at least in the UK), anyone (employer or employee) could find themselves in serious trouble should an accident occur. Addition note: Not only is the correct and safe use of hazardous materials important, but just as important is the safe disposal of any hazardous waste.
