What should you assume about unknown products?

When dealing with unknown products, it's crucial to approach them with caution due to the potential hazards they may pose. The most prudent assumption is that unknown products should be treated as if they could be harmful, regardless of the quantities involved. Therefore, the idea that they are safe in small quantities is misleading.

The correct assumption is that unknown products should not be presumed safe at all; instead, it's essential to handle all unknown substances with care and use appropriate safety measures, such as personal protective equipment, ventilation, and proper storage.

Choosing to consider unknown products as safe in small quantities undermines the potential risks and could lead to accidents or health issues. Safety protocols are designed to prioritize caution, which means that each unknown product should be treated with the assumption that it could be hazardous until proven otherwise through proper testing or identification.
