Typical hazards & measures
Eyewash location and maintenance gaps
— Provide a plumbed eyewash within 10 s of the bay, keep access clear, test weekly with logged flushes, and replace bottled stations before expiry. Post signage at eye level and train staff to irrigate for 15+ minutes after any splash.
Storage at height and manual handling
— Keep heavy 5 L+ at waist height; use step stools with handholds; decant at bench level; two-person lifts for bulk; close caps before moving; move stock on trolleys rather than carrying through client areas; record near misses for layout fixes.
Mislabelled or unlabelled decants
— Decant only to chemical-resistant bottles labelled with name, hazard icons, dilution, date and preparer; never reuse food/retail bottles; apply tamper labels; link QR to SDS; discard any unlabelled liquid immediately and log the incident for audit.
Transport and mobile work with chemicals
— Seal caps, keep upright in secondary boxes, carry only required volumes, never leave in hot cars, and secure loads from tipping. Keep SDS and a mini spill kit in vehicles; log what leaves/returns to maintain full traceability.
Damaged deliveries and decant setup errors
— Inspect boxes on receipt; refuse leaks/swollen caps; open upright with PPE on a tray; log batch/expiry and move stock straight to segregated storage; replace missing safety seals and update inventory before any decant starts; report defects.
