Packaging Tip

Chemical Safety

Whenever you are working with chemicals it's always important to think about safety. To make sure you're taking necessary precautions, we have compiled a list of chemical safety tips:

  • Chemical exposure can occur through inhalation, absorption and ingestion, so make sure you are wearing appropriate protective gear including gloves, goggles, a face mask, lab coat, apron and/or full body suit. Make sure you work in a properly ventilated area and always wash your hands after handling any chemicals especially before eating.
  • Know what chemicals you are handling at all times. Read all labels and any available Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). MSDS provide you with the chemical's details including characteristics, hazards, proper storage and safety procedures in case of emergencies. Do not use any chemicals that are not clearly marked or identifiable.
  • Store chemicals safely when they are not in use and never leave chemical products unattended. This might include locking them up out of children's reach or simply putting them back in their designated areas.
  • Make sure you have a standard carbon dioxide fire extinguisher or container of baking soda (for grease-based fires) easily accessible. You'll also want to know the locations of your first aid kit, any safety showers or eyewash stations.
  • Properly dispose of any excess chemicals. If you do not know how, you can contact your local waste management authority for instructions.
  • Lastly, make sure you have a response plan in place should any chemical emergency occurs. Often the best prevention of emergencies is preparation.
