ASK QUESTION TO GROUP: Where can we find safety information for the cleaning chemicals that we use? CONFIRM CORRECT ANSWER:  The “COSHH Assessment and Safety Data Sheet”

EXPLAIN TO THE TEAM:  The Safety Data sheets provide important information about what must be done in an emergency situation. There is a separate sheet for each chemical. But in general, there are four important rules: 1. If there is a spillage of chemicals, wash away using large quantities of water or absorb with sand. 2. If the chemical has been swallowed, give the person plenty of water or milk to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting. 3. If the chemical has splashed into someone’s eye, immediately wash the eye holding the eye lid open with clean water for 15 minutes.

4. The person must go to hospital if the chemical has either been swallowed or been splashed in their eye, also take the container and relevant safety data sheet.  When diluting chemicals always add the chemical to the water to avoid splashing.  When containers are empty, rinse them out at least twice before disposal
