It plays an important role in making a metal aesthetically usable. Metal Electroplating involves 4 steps/ stages and handling of chemicals like H2CrO4, H2SO4, Ni (NH2SO3) 2, HNH2SO3, acids and alkalis as shown in Table 1. In the process workers are likely to harm and injure themselves with strong fumes and direct contact with skin.
