Exposure to Chemicals
After exposure to ink, make-up or wash, wash off all possible traces as soon as possible.
Obey the precautions listed below:
• Avoid contact with the eyes. Wear suitable eye protection if there is any risk
of splashing or misting.
• Avoid contact with the mouth. Avoid eating, drinking or smoking, or any
personal habits or actions which may transfer ink or make-up to the mouth.
• Avoid contact with the skin. Most gloves only offer limited and short term
exposure protection. Change gloves frequently and after any splashing.
If ink, make-up or wash gets into the eyes:
• Flood the affected eye for 15 minutes with sterile eyewash solution, (or clean
water if eyewash solution is not available).
• Do not allow the water to run into an unaffected eye.
• Seek medical aid immediately.
Storage
Store all fluids safely. Refer to and obey local regulations.
Store printing ink and make-up:
• In well ventilated buildings.
• In areas set aside for the purpose.
• In areas chosen for safety in case of fire.
Fire Risk
Dangerous fumes may be created from a fire involving printing inks.
• Store ink, make-up and wash where they can be reached quickly by the fire
fighters.
• Store ink, make-up and wash where fire will not spread beyond the store.
• Do not use water for an electrical fire.
• Do not use metal scrapers to remove an accumulation of dried ink, as they can
produce sparks.
