Chemical Safety
Guidelines
To minimize the hazards of chemicals:
• Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) provided by the
chemical manufacturer before you store, handle, or work with any chemicals or
hazardous materials. (See “About MSDSs” on page xvii.)
• Minimize contact with chemicals. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
when handling chemicals (for example, safety glasses, gloves, or protective
clothing). For additional safety guidelines, consult the MSDS.
• Minimize the inhalation of chemicals. Do not leave chemical containers open. Use
only with adequate ventilation (for example, fume hood). For additional safety
guidelines, consult the MSDS.
• Check regularly for chemical leaks or spills. If a leak or spill occurs, follow the
manufacturer’s cleanup procedures as recommended on the MSDS.
• Comply with all local, state/provincial, or national laws and regulations related to
chemical storage, handling, and disposal.
