Chemical Health Risk Assessment (CHRA) conducted with the purpose of enabling decisions to be made on appropriate control measures, induction and training of employees, monitoring and health surveillance activities as may be required to protect the health of employees who may be exposed to chemicals hazardous to health at work.

Result showed that teaching laboratory in UMK Jeli campus can be conclude as C3, which risk significant now; and not adequately controlled. The use of chemical in both work unit (Chemistry subject and Waste Management and Pollution Prevention subject) can adversely affect the health of the laboratory operator.
