Different polymers have different physical and chemical properties. This makes some polymers more suitable for particular applications than others. As a result, no one polymer is suitable for all applications.
No, it is not recommended to use polypropylene plastic with gasoline as it can degrade the plastic and potentially cause leaks or other hazards. It is better to use containers made from materials specifically designed to handle gasoline safely.

Yes, certain types of plastics are designed to have low smoke emissions in the event of a fire. For example, polymers like polycarbonate and some formulations of polyethylene and polypropylene can produce less smoke compared to traditional plastics. Additionally, fire-retardant additives can be incorporated into plastics to further reduce smoke generation. Choosing materials that meet specific fire safety standards can help minimize smoke hazards in fire situations.
There are no hazards from exposure to magnetic tape after it has been manufactured. The manufacturing process for magnetic tape involves the use of solvents which have hazards if appropriate precautions are not taken, as well as cutting and pinching activity that can cause injuries.
The employer's obligation for health and safety at work is to provide employment and a place of employment that is free of recognized hazards.

The primary responsibility of your employer is to provide employment and a place of employment that is free from recognized hazards to health or safety.
indirect hazards are hazards that have immediate affect, while direct hazards are hazards that is caused by something else before it affects
There are several types of hazards that include physical hazards, chemical hazards, ergonomic hazards, and biological hazards. Hazards are found in homes, on the road, and in the workplace.
Where engineering and other controls are not sufficient or not possible, it is important to use personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect yourself from recognized hazards in the workplace and maintain your personal safety and health.
