Control form: Chemicals and safety data sheets in workshop
How the nature of the material determines the method
Use this schedule to keep track of the chemical products you use in the workshop, and to ensure that documentation and personal protective equipment are in place before the product is used.
§Before you use a new product
- 01Has the safety data sheet been obtained and read through?
- 02Has a workplace instruction manual been prepared or updated for the product?
- 03Has the substitution principle been considered — is there a less dangerous alternative?
| Product | Safety data sheet available | Required protective equipment | Storage location |
|---|---|---|---|
§Spraying work with epoxy and isocyanates
- 01Does spraying only happen in a closed booth or box with effective extraction?
- 02Is supplied-air respiratory protection used during the spray work itself?
- 03Do all have the legally required training in work with epoxy and isocyanates — and has the isocyanate training been renewed within the last 5 years?
§Storage
- 01Are flammable liquids stored separately from other substances and with good ventilation?
- 02Are used oil and paint cloths spread out to dry or placed in a closed, non-flammable container?
- 03Are safety data sheets available where the products are used — not just in an archive?
A completed checklist is not just paperwork—it's the proof that you know what you're working with and how you protect yourselves.
