HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
SAFELY
Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause
serious injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used
include such items as lubricants, coolants, paints, and
adhesives.
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific
details on chemical products: physical and health
hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response
techniques. Check the MSDS before you start any job
using a hazardous chemical. That way you will know
exactly what the risks are and how to do the job safely.
Then follow procedures and recommended equipment.
• DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the
environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste
includes oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and
batteries. Use leakproof containers when draining
fluids. Do not use food or beverage containers that
may mislead someone into drinking from them. Do not
pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any
water source. Inquire on the proper way to recycle or
dispose of waste from your local environmental or
recycling center.
