Abstract
This assessment was conducted at Organic Chemistry Lab, A606, which was an organic chemistry laboratory located at Faculty of Applied Science, UiTM Shah Alam. Besides, this assessment aims to identify the hazards posed by each Chemical Hazardous to Health (CHTH) use within the workplace and to evaluate the degree of exposure of workers to the Chemical Hazardous to Health (CHTH), either through inhalation, dermal or ingestion. Chemical Health Risk Assessment (CHRA) assists in the systematic identification and description of the hazards associated with the chemical substances.
