Purchase equipment for chemical safety control

The easiest form of chemical safety management is a ready supply of protective gear. Chemical-handling gloves, as well as clothing and eye wear, provide an excellent first line of defense against injury caused by chemicals. Outfit your employees with all necessary equipment to ensure workplace safety and maintain a secure and productive work area.

I recommend: Choose your workplace chemical safety gear from companies such as Northern Safety or All Safety Products Inc. Each one has various products available for chemical work.

Provide a second layer of chemical safety control with special sinks and showers

Even with protective clothing, accidents happen. Double the protection of your employees by installing special chemical sinks and showers in your workplace. These counteract chemicals or chemical solutions and limit the amount of injury in the case of accidental contact. These safety measures can limit serious injury or prevent it altogether.

I recommend: Look at Terra Universal's chemical safety shower and get a quick quote, or choose from various eyewash stations at Guardian Equipment.

Enhance chemical safety in the workplace with specialized training

Chemical safety training is a good way to stop chemical accidents and injuries before they even happen. Procedure and prevention training result in workers being aware of how to avoid mistakes. It's also mandatory; the law requires both employees and supervisors/managers to have at least rudimentary training before they can handle chemicals in the workplace or supervise others who do.

I recommend: Find options for chemical safety training courses at CST or Safety Services Company. You can also subscribe to the CAL/OSHA Compliance Advisor and receive regular chemical and general workplace safety updates as well as information on new regulatory laws.
