Supporting informed material choices reduces these risks and improves sustainability.</p>

Workshops consider environmental and health impacts when selecting chemicals and materials, including substituting higher-risk substances where possible.
Staff are supported to make informed choices that reduce environmental harm, including consideration of how chemicals may enter wastewater systems, while maintaining process reliability.
