Posted on

Properly manage chemical substances, receive chemical-related health education, identify the various markings of major hazardous chemicals and properly manage them before accidents occur.

If a chemical accident occurs at a factory or university, do not panic and after clarifying the situation follow instructions and act calmly.

Chemical accidents may also occur at home, so be careful, for example, not to mix chlorine with acidic detergents. Wear gloves to prevent contact with glasses, nose, mouth and skin.

Store flammable and explosive chemicals, pesticides, building materials and button batteries out of the reach of children and do not place them near fire or high temperatures.
