Chemical materials (Discovery 3)

All chemical materials require care in handling and storage. They can be toxic, unhealthy, caustic, irritating, flammable and give rise to hazardous fumes, fumes and dusts.

Exposure to such chemicals at elevated concentrations can be immediate or delayed, short-term or permanent, cumulative, superficial, life-threatening, and can even shorten life expectancy.

Chemical materials - prescriptions

• Carefully read and follow the safety instructions on the container labels (containers) with chemicals and in accompanying brochures, inserts and other documents. Health and safety documentation for handling these substances is available from the manufacturers.
• Remove chemicals as quickly as possible after contact with skin and clothing. Take off heavily soiled clothing and clean it.
• Organize your workflow and use protective clothing in such a way that chemicals do not come into contact with your skin or eyes.
• Avoid breathing vapours, aerosols, dust or smoke; fire and explosion hazard. Ensure appropriate labeling of chemical containers.
• When handling chemicals, be sure to wash before taking breaks from work, eating, smoking, quenching your thirst, or using the toilet.
• Keep the work area clean and tidy. Do not spill or spill chemicals.
• Store chemicals in accordance with state and local regulations.
• Keep chemicals out of reach of children.

Chemical materials - prohibitions

• Do not mix chemicals unless instructed by the manufacturer; Some chemicals may form other toxic or harmful substances when mixed, produce poisonous or hazardous fumes during a chemical reaction, or form explosive mixtures.
• Do not spray chemicals, especially those based on solvents, in confined spaces, such as when there are people in a car.
• Keep chemicals away from heat or fire unless instructed by the manufacturer. Some are flammable and some may give off toxic or harmful fumes.
• Do not leave containers open. The vapors emitted can reach the maximum permissible concentration: there is a danger to health, life or an explosion. Some vapors are heavier than air and will accumulate in confined spaces, pits, etc.
• Do not ship chemicals in unlabeled containers.
• Do not use chemicals to clean hands or clothing. They, especially solvents and fuels, dry the skin and can cause irritation leading to dermatitis. In addition, chemicals can be absorbed through the skin into the body in dangerous amounts for life and health.
• Do not use empty containers to store other materials unless the containers have been flushed under proper supervision.
• Do not sniff chemical materials. Even short-term inhalation of concentrated vapors can cause poisoning and harm the body.

Anti-corrosion materials

Some corrosion protection materials are flammable - observe smoking precautions: NO SMOKING!

These materials have different characteristics, so you must always follow the manufacturer's instructions. These materials may contain solvents, rubber or petroleum products. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. They may only be sprayed if adequate ventilation is available and never in confined spaces.
