Introduction to
Chemical Risk
Assessment and
Chemical Security
 Chemical hazards and chemical security

The purpose of this offer

• At the end of this presentation , participants will be able to
• Understand the danger, chemical risks, and chemical security risks
• Describe the basics of risk assessment

Hazard and Chemical Hazards
 Chemical hazards and chemical security

Chemical Hazard
• Certain types of chemicals are called dangerous because they have
characteristics that pose risks to those who deal with them
• The danger is according to the nature of the material and its qualities. As for
the risks, it comes as a result of dealing with this substance
• Among the characteristics of a dangerous substance is that it is either toxic,
corrosive, flammable, explosive, and others
• Accordingly, the method of dealing with the material during storage,
transportation, production and packaging may result in risks that require
attention to the proper management and handling of hazardous materials.

Chemical Hazards
The degree of
exposure level dangerousness of
the substance
This is what emerges from the concept of chemical safety, which is concerned
with protecting people and workers from chemical hazards, by switching to less
dangerous substances and/or reducing exposure through administrative and
technical procedures.

Chemical Security Risks and
Hazards
 Chemical hazards and chemical security

Chemical Security Risks

• In the event that the dangerous chemical was not protected and had uses that cause
damage to security and public safety, it may become subject to theft and illegal use.
• The severity of chemical security risks depends on
Severity of The severity of
threats or the
exposure consequences
• The greater the severity of the consequences and/or the severity of the threats and
exposure, the greater the severity of the chemical security risks

Chemical Security Risks

• The severity of the consequences comes from the level of negative
influences such as loss of life or number of injuries, economic
losses, negative impact on the environment, and others.
• As for the severity of the threats, it comes from the security
situation in the area, the lack of protection on the site, the
presence of high quantities of chemicals, the unreliability of the
workers and others.

Conclusion
 Chemical hazards and chemical security

• It is necessary to understand the hazard and chemical hazards and

to establish the necessary procedures for chemical safety
• risks depend on the severity of the threats and exposure and the
severity of the consequences
• We seek to reduce the severity of risks by implementing the
necessary protection measures to avoid threats, reduce exposure
and reduce consequences
