Chemical Safety
Chemical exposure may result in serious health
problems. This is why we have guidelines for who
can work with it and how to be safe while working.
Keeping safe around chemicals
Always know where the nearest safety shower /
eye wash is in case of an emergency.
Always wash your hands and any other areas that may
have come into contact after handling chemicals.
In case of a spill, remove all clothing and thoroughly wash
all areas where the chemical contacted your skin.
Always wear proper PPE such as a tightly fitted
respirator, fit-for-purpose rubber gloves and arm
protection, safety goggles, and protective clothing.
Conduct routine inspection of the area where chemicals
are stored and/or handled to ensure that they are stored
in a safe manner. Correct all non-compliance issues
immediately.
