3.4 Chemicals
When using chemical substances, such as acids, alkali (lye) and fertilizers, observe
the following points:
When working with chemical substances, take additional precautions to ensure
your own safety and that of others in your vicinity.
Make sure you have access to an eye wash station and you know where it is
located.
Consult the safety data sheets provided by the chemical substance producers
and follow the safety instructions specified. Keep these safety data sheets near
the unit.
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the unit to prevent adverse
health effects from escaping vapours.
If you want to use a supply pipe for a different chemical substance, make sure
to check the following:
Is there a risk that the original substance and replacement substance will
react to one another? If so, first clean the supply pipe.
Is the channel's material suitable for the intended chemical substance?
When diluting chemical substances, always add the chemical substance to the
water and not the water to the chemical substance.
