Through inhalation, skin and eye contact, ingestion, and injection, hazardous chemicals may be harmful to your health. If these chemicals are not used, stored and handled properly, they can cause injury, illness and disease. Display this poster in workplaces so your employees are aware of how hazardous chemicals can enter the body, or post it up in the classroom to educate students.

This poster is printed double-sided, with English on one side and French on the other.
