Many aspects of construction work require the use of highly toxic chemicals. These substances can be used safely if they are properly stored, and if the people using them are trained in the right safety procedures. However, even in these circumstances, accidents can still occur. When people are directly exposed to the toxins used on construction sites, the results can be very harmful.
