Working with Acids - Safety Talk (PDF)
PDF document 19 Pages
PDF DESCRIPTION
Every year, hundreds of employees suffer severe and sometimes permanent eye, skin and respiratory
damage from exposure to acids.
There are, however, many thousands of other employees who have worked with acids for years and
never experienced an injury.
We are going to look at how we can avoid being a part of that unfortunate first group by talking about
using acids in your workplace.
Accidents involving the use of acids usually occur because:
? the health hazards are not known; and
? the safe handling precautions are not known.
If a mishap does occur when using an acid, the outcome can be worse, if:
? you don?t wear the correct Personal Protective Equipment;
? you don?t know the required First Aid treatment; and
? you don?t follow the correct Emergency Procedures.
