The film shows potential sources of electrostatic charges at the workplace and how they could be avoided and/or reduced. If electrostatic charges occur in environments with solvents and solvent vapours in the air, fires and explosions may be the consequence.
Two films show the situation in detail and explain the phenomenon and raise awareness on regular maintenance of equipment and training of workers.

The guideline explains how to select the right gloves for a particular type of solvent and how to check and put chemical resistant gloves on.

This video enables users to identify health, safety and environmental hazards of solvents and to implement best practice to ensure their safe handling. This incluces highlighting the relevance of information in safety data sheets, advice on safe storage, technical and personal protection measures for workers and emission reduction measures to the enviornment.
