The workforce at EMCO Chemical Packaging consists of approximately 200 employees who are responsible for the safe handling, processing, and packaging of these chemicals.

Workers at this plant can come into contact with hazardous substances such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), corrosive acids, and reactive alkalis.
