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.
