Chemical Safety
WARNING
Chemical substances used in the spray system may
be hazardous and toxic to you, bystanders, animals,
plants, soils or other property.
• Carefully read and follow the chemical
warning labels and Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) for all chemicals used and
protect yourself according to the chemical
manufacturer's recommendations. For example,
use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) including face and eye protection, gloves,
or other equipment to guard against personal
contact with the chemical.
• Keep in mind that there may be more than one
chemical used and information on each should
be assessed.
• Refuse to operate or work on the sprayer if this
information is not available!
• Before working on a spray system, make sure
the system has been triple rinsed and neutralized
according to the recommendations of the
chemical manufacturer(s).
• Verify there is an adequate supply of clean water
and soap nearby, and immediately wash off any
chemicals that contact you.
•
Obtain proper training before using or handling
chemicals.
•
Use the correct chemical for the job.
•
Follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions for the
safe application of the chemical.
•
Handle chemicals in a well ventilated area.
•
Wear goggles and other protective equipment as
instructed by the chemical manufacturer. Ensure that as
little skin as possible is exposed while using chemicals.
•
Have clean water available especially when filling the
spray tank.
•
Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working with chemicals.
•
Always wash your hands and other exposed areas as soon
as possible after finishing the work.
•
Properly dispose of unused chemicals and chemical
containers as instructed by the chemical manufacturer
and your local codes.
•
Chemicals and fumes in the tanks are dangerous; never
enter the tank or place your head over or in the opening.
•
Follow all local, state, and federal requirements for the
spraying of chemicals.
Hand Sprayer Safety
•
Do not aim the hand sprayer at any person or animal.
Fluids under high pressure can penetrate skin and cause
severe injury, possibly resulting in amputation or death.
Hot liquids and chemicals can also cause burns or injury.
If any part of the body comes in contact with the spray
stream, immediately consult a physician familiar with
injected fluid injuries.
•
Do not place your hand or any other part of your body in
front of the spray nozzle.
•
Do not leave the equipment under pressure when you
are not present.
•
Do not use the hand sprayer if the hose, trigger lock,
nozzle, or any other part is damaged or missing.
•
Do not use the hand sprayer if there are any leaks in any
hoses, fittings, or other components.
•
Do not spray near power lines; the spray stream could
contact the power lines and give you a potentially fatal
electrical shock.
•
Do not drive while spraying with a hand sprayer.
•
Wear rubber gloves, safety goggles, and a full-body
protective suit when spraying chemicals with the hand
sprayer.
•
Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If lightning
is seen or thunder is heard in the area, do not operate
the machine; seek shelter.
