2.7 Toxicity of Chemicals
A. Magnum Venus Plastech recommends that you consult OSHA Sections 1910.94,
1910.106, 1910.107 and NFPA No.33, Chapter 14, and NFPA No.91.
B. Contact your chemical supplier(s) and determine the toxicity of the various chemicals
used as well as the best methods to prevent injury, irritation and danger to personnel.
C. Also determine the best methods of first aid treatment for each chemical used in your plant.
2.8 Treatment of Chemical Injuries
Great care should be used in handling the chemicals (resins, catalyst and solvents) used in
polyester systems. Such chemicals should be treated as if they hurt your skin and eyes and
as if they are poison to your body. For this reason, Magnum Venus Plastech recommends
the use of protective clothing and eye wear in using polyester systems. However, users
should be prepared in the event of such an injury. Precautions include:
1. Know precisely what chemicals you are using and obtain information from your chemical
supplier on what to do in the event the chemical gets onto your skin or into the eyes, or
is swallowed.
2. Keep this information together and easily available so that it may be used by those
administering first aid or treating the injured person.
3. Be sure the information from your chemical supplier includes instructions on how to treat
any toxic effects the chemicals have.
WARNING
Contact your doctor immediately in the event of any injury and give him the
information you have collected. If your information includes first aid instructions,
administer first aid immediately while you are contacting your doctor.
Fast treatment of the outer skin and eyes that contact such chemicals generally includes
immediate and thorough washing of the exposed skin and immediate and continuous
flushing of the eyes with lots of clean water for at least 15 minutes or more. These general
instructions of first aid treatment, however, may be incorrect for some chemicals; that is why
you must know the chemicals and treatment before an accident occurs. Treatment for
swallowing a chemical frequently depends upon the nature of the chemical.
NOTE: Refer to your System User Manual for complete and detailed operating
instructions and service information.
