A Material Safety Data Sheet is a document prepared
by a chemical manufacturer which contains information and
instructions on the chemical and physical characteristics of a
substance. It includes potential hazards and risks, safe handling
requirements and the actions to be taken in the event of fire, spill
or exposure.
It is clear that there are sensible precautions to
be taken when handling dyes and chemicals, particularly as powders:
-
Avoid inhaling dusts, they can produce an asthma
type reaction. Wear a dust mask when handling fine powders and
aerosols on a regular basis.
-
Avoid splashing solutions into the eyes,
swallowing the materials or prolonged skin contact. A simple
'non-contact' approach (wear gloves, goggles and overalls where
necessary) plus normal, good, hygiene is sufficient precautions
for the occasional user.
-
Keep work areas clean and dust free. Wash hands
and equipment regularly.
-
Store in clearly labelled containers well away
from children, pets and foodstuffs. Treat dye powders and
solutions with the same caution as domestic poisons (e.g. strong
cleaners, bleaches or medicines).
-
Dispose of spent solutions containing residues of
the dyes responsibly. Dilute and pour onto waste land or into the
sewage system. They have no known effect on the environment when
used in the quantities recommended in the literature
