3040 – 15 – Using Proper Sanitation and Hygiene

1m

Hygiene and common sense are important to safety when working with MWFs. Items like food, drinks, and cosmetics need to be consumed or stored away from the work place to minimize exposure to MWFs. A lot of companies apply a “no smoking policy” in the workplace to limit respiratory effects of MWFs.

PPE provides you with a good shield against MWFs. If you are exposed to an MWF, you need to clean the area with gentle soap and clean water and use a clean towel. Any clothing exposed to MWFs need to be changed and cleaned. Employees need to shower and change clothes as soon as the shift is up.
