The website provides two leaflets concerning chemicals safety in 3D printing. A model solution for chemical safety at the workplaces of 3D printing and a leaflet on a respective control approach. These discuss the risk associatied with exposures to chemicals used in 3D printers and related prevention measures. A checklist for risk assessment is also included.
The website provides model solutions for safety at workplaces in different sectors, including metal working. Several leaflets are provided on welding activities, including on sheet metal welding, removal of objects in welding, ergonomic welding pistols, welding shields, welding masks, personal protective equipment in welding. The leaflets provide general information about the risks associated with welding and the prevention measures, such as wearing welding masks, safety gloves and goggles, as well as ventilation.
This leaflet summarises the guidelines for working with epoxy, urethane, acrylate and reinforced plastic chemicals. It provides information about the adverse health effects resulting from exposure to adhesives.
This guide provides information about the procurement of safe chemicals. During the planning of the procurement of chemicals, both the working environment and safety considerations should be taken into account. A good procurement policy for chemicals is the basis for ensuring safety at work. The selection of chemicals, such as raw materials, process aids, detergents, etc., must meet different requirements. They must be appropriate for the work process, cost-effective and not dangerous to workers. The procurement phase is the critical time period in chemicals safety.
This model solution contains information on the benefits of substitution, the legislation related to substitution, practical measures and examples of substitution.
The most effective way to reduce the risk of hazardous substances at work is to replace the product with a less dangerous product or method.
This guideline is aimed at managing the risks involved when carrying out eyelash extensions in the beauty sector. It provides information about the potential for exposure to dangerous substances, the risks and the adverse health effects. It also provides advice on how to work safely.
An eyelash professional is exposed to eyelash adhesives on a daily basis in their work. Occupational safety and protection from sensitisation are very important.
The guideline provides information for nail technicians about the risks and about protection measures.
Nail technicians generally use acrylates and methacrylates or gels containing these substances for nail decoration and/or elongation. Products used in nail salons include acrylates such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate. Workers are also exposed to solvents such as Isopropanol and acetone.
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.
The site contains summaries of the use or occurrence of chemical agents at workplaces, exposure to them and potential health hazards. In addition, the site provides guidance on risk management.
