The video briefly presents basic measures for safely handling flammable solids during road transportation. Examples of flammable solids are given. The classification of chemicals used is based on the ADR — the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road.
The video briefly presents basic measures for safely handling flammable liquids during road transportation. The classification of chemicals used is based on the ADR — the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road.
The video briefly presents basic measures for safely handling substances emitting flammable gases during road transportation. The classification of chemicals used is based on the ADR — the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road.
The video raises awareness of ATEX Directives 94/9/EC and 1999/92/EC, as part of the project Safety in Hazardous Areas Working Group; it is also available on www.safetyworkingareas.org. The video displays text (white on a black background) and powerful pictures of explosions accompanied by music ('Hide and Seek' by Imogen Heap).
The video demonstrates the correct procedure for hand washing in biological laboratories to protect both workers and samples.
The document presents internationally harmonised generic and technical terms used in chemical hazard/risk assessment.
This short film was made for the International Day of Hand Hygiene organised by the World Health Organization in 2011 to raise awareness of the protection measures needed by medical personnel, as well as by volunteers, family, etc. The video shows bad working practice, namely different situations in which healthcare workers could pick up microorganisms and spread them around. It also shows good working practices; for example, a healthcare worker desinfecting his hands at several stations of his work.
The video raises awareness about chemical risks, depicting a migrant worker ignoring hazards and not using personal protection equipment such as safety gloves. In the video, two of the employer's obligations are highlighted: (1) chemical risk assessment and (2) assessment of the risk arising from the presence of foreign workers. In this case, the worker is exposed to the risk of using harmful products without proper knowledge of their use, a situation aggravated by inadequate knowledge of Italian.
The guidelines, among other things, define prevention and summarise the active and passive strategies that can be used to promote chemical safety, for example emergency communication about chemical risks to communities; product labelling; regulation of chemicals by legislation, registration, licensing, standards and notification systems; and engineering controls to prevent exposure in the workplace.
This document presents World Health Organization guidelines for the protection of health from risks due to a number of chemicals commonly present in indoor air. It targets public health professionals involved in preventing the health risks associated with environmental exposure, as well as specialists and authorities involved in the design and use of buildings, indoor materials and products. The guidelines provide a scientific basis for legally enforceable standards.
