Chemist
A chemist analyses the scientific properties of different types of matter. to create, improve and test products for commercial and research purposes. They may focus on making new products, such as synthetics, paints and pharmaceutical products. They may also be involved in testing and analysing current products to help improve them. Chemists may work in the production industry, deciding how certain materials and chemicals should be handled properly and safely. A chemist often writes instructions for factory workers on which ingredients to mix together, how much of each to use, and how long they should wait for the mixture to be ready to use. Some chemists work as inspectors, testing samples to make sure that they meet the standards set by industry and government.
