In this industrial sector, the fastest-growing category of workplace injuries is ergonomics injuries caused by repetitive motion and stress. Hazard identification training can be used to help employees identify ergonomic risks and learn how repetitive motion risks can be controlled. Strict cleaning and sanitizing requirements in pharmaceutical plants means housekeeping is also high on the safety scale. Further, due to the dangerous raw material contents of certain products, employees must learn how to use personal protective equipment (PPE), Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and other workplace controls. Personal protective equipment (PPE) usage includes respiratory safety and the use of latex gloves for hand safety. Additionally, chemical hazard communications focusing on correct labelling is a high priority. While pharmaceuticals may seem a specialized industry, a great number of general safety hazards exist and SafetyWorld 's Topic Library offers valuable guidelines to help workers develop safety responsibilities.
