Worker protection

ABSTRACT

The manufacture, handling and use of chemicals almost inevitably lead to some exposure. Relatively simple procedures, if followed, can afford considerable protection to the worker. Thus comfortable protective clothing and masks coupled with personal hygiene can reduce the likelihood of serious poisoning. Ordinary clothing can be made somewhat repellent to chemical without loss of comfort. Techniques of application can also reduce exposure levels. Training of workers results in not only greater safety but also more effective workers (AU)
