chemical residue. Use water to rinse the skin area where the chemical contact took place. If the chemical is a developer, wash with a pH- balanced cleanser, like Phisoderm, Sulfo Hand Cleaner, or pH6. Wash contaminated clothing before wearing it again. Thoroughly clean contaminated shoes; if they can not be cleaned, discard them.

SWALLOWED CHEMICALS

Immediately identify which chemical was swallowed and follow the first-aid recommendations on the container/processor label and in the MSDS. Call a physician or poison-control center as quickly as possible; make sure you have the MSDS with you when you call.

INHALED VAPORS AND GASES

Immediately get fresh air. If symptoms persists, get medical attention.

STORE CHEMICALS

SAFELY

•Keep containers easily accessible—Always store photographic processing chemical containers in a designated area, away from heavy traffic, where they can be identified and inventoried, if necessary. Position containers in an area where you can easily reach without having to stretch.

•Do not remove chemical labels that come on chemical containers. Container labels include the chemical name, appropriate hazard warnings, and precautionary measures where applicable.

–Processor tanks and other storage tanks also need to be properly labeled. Kodak provides hazard warning labels for this purpose.

•Use the proper containers— photographic processing chemicals should only be stored in the containers in which they were originally delivered. Do not transfer chemicals into any other containers.

•Keep corrosive materials separated—store corrosive materials away from any materials with which they may react, and away from other incompatible materials. See the stability and reactivity section on the MSDS for more information.

PROPERLY DISPOSE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSING CHEMICALS

Always follow the procedures designated for your photographic processing facility when disposing of photographic processing chemicals. These disposal procedures are based on local, state, and federal requirements that regulate the disposal of photographic processing chemicals.

If your facility discharges waste solutions, make sure you have reviewed the local sewer discharge requirements for your area. use silver-recovery methods for silver- bearing effluents (e.g., used fixers, bleach-fixes, and stabilizers). Also, know what other materials may be discharged to a common drain. Never pour any photographic processing chemicals into a drain where cleaning agents containing chlorine are present, unless the drain has been thoroughly rinsed. Run plenty of water down the drain, prior to disposing of photographic processing chemical effluents, then thoroughly rinse the drain again after the disposal of effluents.

For more information on silver recovery, see KODAK Publication J-212, The Technology of Silver Recovery for Photographic Processing Facilities.

If off-site treatment (hauling) is used for the disposal of waste photographic processing solutions, make sure the only solutions poured into the waste drum(s) are photographic processing solutions.

Regardless of the type of recovery or disposal procedure you use in your facility, maintain the system so overflows and spills do not occur.

SAFE HANDLING OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSING CHEMICALS IS EASY WHEN YOU USE COMMON SENSE AND WHEN YOU:

•Know the chemicals you are handling.

•Read the MSDSs and container labels.

•Use care when moving containers from one location to another.

•Store photographic processing chemicals safely.

•Do not eat, drink, or smoke in chemical handling areas.
