SAFETY
Always have soap, water, and towel avail-
able when working with chemicals. If
chemical contacts skin, hands, or face,
wash immediately with soap and water. If
chemical gets into eyes, flush immediately
with water.
Wash hands and face after using chemi-
cals and before eating, drinking, smoking,
or urination.
Do not smoke or eat while applying chemi-
cals.
After handling chemicals, always bathe or
shower and change clothes. Wash cloth-
ing before wearing again.
Seek medical attention immediately if ill-
ness occurs during or shortly after use of
chemicals.
Keep chemicals in original containers. Do
not transfer chemicals to unmarked con-
tainers or to containers used for food or
drink.
Store chemicals in a secure, locked area
away from human or livestock food. Keep
children away.
Always dispose of containers properly. Tri-
ple rinse empty containers and puncture
or crush containers and dispose of prop-
erly. Handle Chemical Products Safely
Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals
can cause serious injury. Potentially haz-
ardous chemicals used with FAST equip-
ment include such items as lubricants,
coolants, paints, and adhesives.
A Material Safety Data Sheet (M/SDS)
provides specific details on chemical prod-
ucts: physical and health hazards, safety
procedures, and emergency response
techniques.
Check the M/SDS before you start any job
using a hazardous chemical. That way you
will know exactly what the risks are and
how to do the job safely. Then follow pro-
cedures and recommended equipment.
