Safety – Do’s
- Ensure all chemicals in trucks & on work-site are in appropriate closed containers.
- All containers should be marked with contents
- All buckets should have their own scoops and you should use a separate set of scoops to transport chemicals
- In the event a chemical reaction occurs, immediately contact your supervisor for instructions.
- Add water to your DE (only DE is applicable) to saturate so that it isn’t breathable.
