Safety and Health Topics Semiconductors In Focus Hot Topics Less than 40 years old, the semiconductors industry has expanded greatly. Due to rapid changes in this industry, manufacturing processes and their associated hazards may change completely every few years. These changes make hazard assessments more difficult to complete and require that they be conducted more often. Common hazards may include exposure to solvents, acid and caustic solutions, toxic metals, and radiation. The following questions link to information related to semiconductors. What standards apply? OSHA | National Consensus What are the semiconductor manufacturing operations and their potential hazards and solutions?
