DID YOU KNOW

COMPATIBILITY IS A KEY PART OF CHEMICAL SAFETY.


Youve probably heard the old phrase that oil and water dont mix. The fact is, there are many chemicals in our industry that must not be used or stored together. Combining incompatible chemicals, or storing them in too close proximity to each other, can result in adverse reactions such as the release of toxic, corrosive, or flammable vapors and liquids, excessive heat generation, even explosions. With some chemicals, exposure to air or water might even trigger such reactions. Dont make decisions youve not been trained to make. Dont do something now that might be harmful later. Use your authority through the management of change and stop work processes to correct a situation you view as potentially being harmful. When it comes to chemicals, ask the experts.
