  1. Chemical Safety At Home and at Work

  2. We use chemicals every day. • List 5 chemicals you use daily/ weekly: • Examples: • Bleach/ cleaning products • Toothpaste/ Nail polish remover, make-up/ soap • Cologne/ perfume • Oil/gas in cars • Pop • Printer ink • Chlorine in pool or hot tub

  3. Some of the items above are helpful in moderation, but harmful when there is a lot of it. • There are three important safety systems in place that keep us safe when we use chemicals that could be potentially harmful.

  4. WHMIS: Which stands for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. • MSDS: Material Safety Data Sheet • HHPS: Hazardous Household Product Symbols

  5. WHMIS labels are on the container that contain the material. The label summarizes how to handle it. People who work at jobs where chemicals and toxic cleaners are used t be educated in WHMIS training. Compressed gas

  6. Flammable Oxidizing Material

  7. Poisonous Material Poisonous and Infectious Material

  8. Biological Hazard Corrosive Material Reactive

  9. MSDS sheets are slightly more detailed. They are not stuck to a container. They give information on the physical and chemical properties of the material. Safe handling, first aid advice and disposal procedures

  10. HHPS: These types of labels are found on products that are: • reactive (likely to explode, or create a violent reaction if mixed) • dangerous and toxic. • They are bright and visible, so that your attention is immediately drawn to the notice, and you know to be careful with it.

  11. Stop signs indicate danger. It is the most harmful of the HHDP They are red Diamonds means warning…medium warning They are orange Upside down triangles mean caution… the least dangerous, but still be careful They are yellow
