Chemical safety
- Caution while handling all chemical compounds. Some
car wash chemicals may be somewhat caustic and should not be permitted
to come in direct contact with bare skin or eyes.
- Chemicals must not be taken internally.
- If chemicals should accidently come in contact with
eyes or skin, flush area generously with water immediately. If irritation
persists, contact a physician as soon as possible.
- When handling such chemicals like acid, strong caustics
or concentrated solvents or waxes, wear proper protective rubber gloves,
boots and a face shield.
- When diluting an acid, always pour the acid slowly
into water so that heat generated cannot cause splattering and
never water into acid.
- Smoking or open flames should be prohibited near
any stored flammable products or near any area where explosive vapors
might be present.
- Read caution labels on any chemical product before
handling or using.
- Mix chemicals according to
the manufacturer's directions.
- Never assume that an empty chemical drum is completely
free of residue. With clean water, thoroughly rinse the inside of
all empty chemical containers. After emptying a drum, close up the
top and seal all openings. Keep empty drums out of the sun and heated
areas. Dispose of them according to management instructions and environmental
regulations.
