Safety Tips
Prior to using any chemical, even if it is something you have worked with for years, it’s crucial to understand the hazards and how to work with it safely. Follow our safety tips below regarding our chemicals to keep everyone in your facility and consumers safe.
- You can learn about chemical hazards by checking labels, reviewing Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS/SDS), consulting the manufacturer or distributor, and utilizing various resources like the internet, library, or experts.
- Chemical labels provide information such as warning statements, first aid instructions, spill procedures, handling guidelines, HMIS ratings, and U.S. DOT information. MSDS/SDS documents contain detailed information about chemicals, including properties like flash point, autoignition temperature, and flammable limits, as well as instructions for handling and extinguishing fires.
- You can seek clarification from the manufacturer, distributor, experts, or additional resources like reputable websites, library materials, industry publications, or teachers.
- Physical hazards (flammability, reactivity) are usually on labels, while health hazards (toxicity) are found in MSDS/SDS. Toxicity refers to a substance’s harm-causing ability, while hazard considers the likelihood of harm under specific conditions.
- Common routes of entry include skin contact, eye contact, inhalation, and ingestion.
- To protect against skin contact, wear impervious gloves and protective clothing, and rinse the affected area with water for at least 15 minutes if exposed.
- To avoid eye contact, wear safety goggles or a face shield and rinse the eyes immediately with water for at least 15 minutes if exposed.
- If you inhale chemicals, increase ventilation, move to fresh air, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Use a respirator if needed.
