Safety Rules for Chemicals Industries

1. Always wear eye protection; wear protective gloves wherever possible.

2. Carry out as much work as possible in an efficient fume cupboard, wearing respiratory equipment if required; at the very least, work in a well-ventilated area.

3. Avoid all contact with skin, eyes, and mucosal tissue.

4. Immediately rinse splashes from the skin using plenty of cold water; use polyethylene glycol to rinse off lipophilic substances. Never use organic substances, as they may be absorbed.

5. Corrosive substances entering the eye should be thoroughly rinsed out with a gentle jet of water (or using special eye-wash equipment). Hold the eyelids wide open and move the eyes in all directions. Consult an eye specialist immediately, stating the chemical substance involved.

6. Immediately remove any clothing that has become contaminated with a corrosive substance. Be sure to seek medical advice in the event of an accident or if you feel unwell.

7. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the laboratory.

General Precautions against chemicals

We, therefore, assume that users, through their technical training and professional experience, will be familiar with the precautions that they need to observe when handling the chemicals. Since, as a rule, only small quantities are handled in the laboratory, any risk to health can generally be ruled out by close observance of the advice printed on the label.

Any product in which a harmful property is presumed but not backed up with toxicological data bears the following safety warning on its label.   

Note: Anyone handling chemicals should always observe the following safety rules, whether the label carries a hazard warning or not.
