Assessing USECHH regulation 2000 implementation on chemical laboratories: a case study of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Chemical laboratories safety has become an important issue in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), as many accidents occurred in the laboratory such as spillage and explosion. By using USECHH Regulation 2000 as the baseline study, this research was conducted on 18 chemical testing laboratories in UT...
