The risk-based waste classification system developed in this Report is based fundamentally on the concepts of negligible (de minimis) and acceptable (barely tolerable) risks from exposure to radionuclides and hazardous chemicals, with the crucial distinction that acceptable risks generally can be considerably higher than negligible risks. Therefore, in implementing the waste classification system, decisions would need to be made by regulatory authorities about... 

GENETIC TOXICOLOGY AND RISK ASSESSMENT (GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS) 589... 

General considerations The work process and equipment should be so specified that there is no physical contact with the adhesive, no likelihood of eye contact, that any flammability concerns are addressed (e.g. elimination of sparking by correct electrical zoning), that procedures for adhesive clean-up and disposal are adequate and that ventilation and or extraction is sufficient. The supplier s MSDS must be available and read by all personnel likely to come into contact with adhesives (from good received to waste disposal). Skin contact should be avoided, otherwise there may be risk of dermatitis, made worse by minor skin abrasions or small cuts. In particular, chaffed, open-pore skin around collars and cuffs may be particularly sensitive.
