chemicals before the work and read and follow all relevant safety data sheets.
Before handling these substances observe all danger notes and safety information printed on the
containers of the original solutions and in the safety data sheet.
Dispose of all consumed solutions in accordance with the national regulations and laws.
Select the type of protective equipment suitable to the concentration and quantity of the
dangerous material being used.
