2015 - Lateral Learning LL45 - LTI#38 - Chemical Burns
An operator suffered chemical burns to hand whilst using a chemical based drain clearing fluid. He was not trained in the use of chemicals and was not provided with the necessary PPE. There was no valid MSDS available and no risk assessment undertaken on the product.
- Chemical drain clearing fluids should not be used under any circumstances. - Blocked drains should be cleared by rodding or other mechanical means. - Chemicals should be eliminated/substituted whenever reasonably practicable. - Ensure you have an MSDS for all chemicals and ensure that a suitable and sufficient risk assessment is undertaken. - Always wear the correct PPE when dealing with chemicals.
Understand your chemicals, eliminate where possible, assess and train.
