The video draws attention to the storing requirements of hazardous substances, which can be found in safety data sheets. The careless forklift driver pierces a barrel containing flammable liquid and puts bags of oxidisers underneath. The building later blows up.
The video highlights the importance of reading the label on containers before starting work and checking the safety data sheet. In the video, the careless worker does not use the protective equipment (gloves and goggles) required in line with the safety data sheet and burns his skin when using a concentrated cleaner.
The second eposide of the cartoon series draws attention to the long-term effects that chemicals may have. The use of proper protective equipment and of local exhaust ventilation is emphasised. In the video, the young worker degreases metal parts and wears only a dust mask, which is inappropriate. His boss tells him to use the local exhaust ventilation and wear a respirator and gloves. The expert emphasises that certain substances (solvents) can lead to serious health impairments and workers are warned about their responsibility in taking care of themselves.
The first episode of the cartoon series raises awareness of risks associated with handling pesticides without proper prevention measures. A worker suffers intoxication because he did not wear proper protective equipment when spraying plants with pesticides. The video explains how pesticides can enter the body and recommends using less hazardous substances, reading the product label and adhering to manufacturers' prescriptions, closing the cabin of spraying tractors and wearing appropriate protection (clothing, gloves, respirators and goggles).
The website gives guidance on how to manage risks in the area based on the “assess, control and review model”. For each step, guidance is provided in form of short factsheets, brochures, links and a downloadable video: Dry sanding plasterboard joints takes place indoors and often in small, enclosed spaces. This can generate high levels of dust in the air. Ceiling work also causes dust to fall directly into workers’ breathing zone. The graph displayed in the video available on the page shows how much dust is created when dry sanding without dust extraction.
The website gives guidance on how to manage risks in the area based on the “assess, control and review model”. For each step, guidance is provided in form of short factsheets, brochures, links and a downloadable video: Cutting and sanding wood with power tools can produce significant amounts of dust. Effective control is necessary because this work can be high risk. This page provides information on how to control this risk and why it needs to be controlled.
The website gives guidance on how to manage risks in the area based on the “assess, control and review model”. For each step, guidance is provided in form of short factsheets, brochures, links and a downloadable video: Dry sweeping concrete dust and other building debris can push large amounts of dust into the air. The graph displayed in the video available on the page shows how much silica is created when dry sweeping concrete dust. The graph shows a dramatic drop in the amount of silica-containing dust produced when using the correct extraction unit.
The website gives guidance on how to manage risks in the area based on the “assess, control and review model”. For each step, guidance is provided in form of short factsheets, brochures, links and a downloadable video: When uncontrolled, these tasks quickly produce very high levels of silica-containing dust. The graph displayed in the video available on the page shows how much silica is created when grinding concrete without dust extraction. The graph shows a dramatic drop in the amount of silica-containing dust produced when using extraction.
The website gives guidance on how to manage risks in the area based on the “assess, control and review model”. For each step, guidance is provided in form of short factsheets, brochures, links and a downloadable video: When uncontrolled, chasing concrete and raking mortar quickly produce very high levels of silica-containing dust, as is shown in a graph displayed in the video. The graph shows a dramatic drop in the amount of silica-containing dust produced when using extraction.
The website gives guidance on how to manage risks in the area based on the “assess, control and review model”. For each step, guidance is provided in form of short factsheets, brochures, links and a downloadable video: Uncontrolled cutting quickly produces very high levels of silica-containing dust, as is shown in a graph displayed in the video clip demonstrating how much silica is created when dry cutting. The graph shows a dramatic drop in the amount of silica-containing dust produced when using water suppression.
