Rules of Conduct in Adhesive Processing

Inhaling more detrimental than skin contact, more detrimental than swallowing. 

So-called MAK values (maximum workplace concentrations) have been defined for individual chemical substances as a preventive measure against health problems due to inhaling, which must not be exceeded at the workplace. After these preliminary remarks, the prohibition of eating and smoking at the workplace is a logical consequence. Furthermore, the following aspects have to be considered  

Do not fill substances in unlabeled containers, in particular not in containers intended for food (beer and water bottles). 

Do not dilute acids and bases by adding water to counter the strong heating, but vice versa, pour the acids and bases slowly into the water while stirring carefully. 

Slip off your clothes immediately, if chemicals are splashed, wash up possibly affected areas of skin using plenty of water, apply skin-protective lotion.
