Description

The website provides access to three leaflets describing model solutions related to car lacquering: 2 about the lacquering itself and one about mixing of paints and cleaning of tools. The leaflets inform about how to work with hazardous substances in paints, including solvents and isocyanates and how to prevent exposures. They include checklists for employers and workers. The leaflet is part of a series of sectoral publications to help companies, in particular small and medium-sized companies, to manage the risks posed by dangerous substances at workplaces.
