Hazardous substances
Many hazardous substances cannot be seen or smelled. Yet they can cause serious illness in the long run.
Recognising
- Look for the hazard symbols on the label.
- Read the safety data sheet (SDS) before you start.
Protecting
- First check whether a less hazardous substance is possible.
- Wear the PPE listed in the SDS.
- Wash your hands before eating, drinking or smoking.
- Limit exposure time and ensure ventilation.
