Epoxy folder — chemical safety in construction coating work

The website includes three leaflets with guidance on working with expoxy resins: one explaining chemical risks in using epoxy coatings, one about risk assessment for the use of these products and one with a template for risk assessment. The guidelines include general information as well as guidance on how to select prevention measures and which are most appropriated.
Epoxy products are used as protective and insulating coatings. They are potent skin sensitisers (allergens). Frequently, skin contact with the individual components or the ready-for-use mixed product gives rise to allergic contact dermatitis.
