Safety Precautions for the Handling of Chemicals

WARNING:

Be certain to follow these guidelines for the safe handling of

 

chemicals in the equipment working area.

General Guidelines

Be sure that all persons operating the equipment have a complete set of instructions for the handling of dangerous substances.

Be sure that all persons operating the equipment have training on the handling of dangerous substances at least once a year.

Check for sufficient room ventilation in the working area. The air should be exchanged at least eight to ten times per hour.

Skin and Eye Protection

Photographic solutions contain substances that may irritate the skin, the mucous membranes, or the eyes. They may also cause allergic skin reactions. For all procedures where photographic processing solutions may splash (for example, preparing and filling in chemical solutions or cleaning processing racks), follow these guidelines:

Avoid skin contact, especially with developer solutions.

Wear protective gloves and change them every day, if possible. It may be necessary to also wear a rubber apron during some maintenance operations.

Rinse all solutions that get on the skin with plenty of running water.

Wear protective goggles. If splashes do get into the eyes, wash them immediately with plenty of water, lifting the eyelids away from the eyes. Then consult an eye doctor if irritation occurs.

Storage and Disposal

IMPORTANT: Follow the guidelines for Disposal of Chemicals and Containers on Page ix.

Store chemicals and processing solutions in a safe place.

Collect drained chemicals immediately and dispose of the solutions, observing the above provisions.
