2.3.4 Ergonomic Hazards
Prevention of
Musculoskeletal
Disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect the muscles, nerves, blood vessels, ligaments and ten-
dons. Workers in many different industries and occupations can be exposed to risk factors at
work, such as lifting heavy items, bending, reaching overhead, pushing and pulling heavy loads,
working in awkward body postures and performing the same or similar tasks repetitively. Employ-
ers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their workers.
2.3.5 Hazards generated by Materials and Substances
Infection Hazards Direct contact with the eyepieces can be a potential way of passing on bacterial and viral infec-
tions.
§ The risk can be lowered by using personal eyepieces or eyecups. If eyepieces need to be disin-
fected frequently, ZEISS recommends to use the eyepieces without eyecups.
§ To avoid infections, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) e.g. gloves for operation,
cleaning, and decontamination is highly recommended. Disposable gloves can be decontami-
nated with, e.g., alcohol, if necessary, or should be changed frequently to minimize the risk of
contamination.
Consumable
Hazards
Incorrect handling of consumables and cleaning agents can lead to property damage or skin and
eye injuries. Consumables that are not approved by ZEISS can lead to property damage. Consult
your ZEISS Sales & Service Partner to learn what consumables you can order and how to handle
them.
Disinfectant
Hazards
Ensure adequate ventilation in closed rooms. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear respiratory
protective equipment. Remove any harmful residue. Allow the device to dry off after disinfection,
particularly after disinfection of eyepieces. Do not inhale vapors. When using disinfectants, do not
eat, drink or smoke. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Remove contaminated clothing and wash
before reuse.
Eye, Skin,
Respiratory Tract
Irritation
Exposure to chemicals and their aerosols can cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Use
appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
