2.8 Treatment of Chemical Injuries
Great care should be used in handling the chemicals (resins, catalyst and solvents) used in
polyester systems. Such chemicals should be treated as if they hurt your skin and eyes and as if
they are poison to your body. For this reason, Magnum Venus Plastech recommends the use of
protective clothing and eye wear in using polyester systems. However, users should be prepared
in the event of such an injury. Precautions include:
1. Know precisely what chemicals you are using and obtain information from your chemical
supplier on what to do in the event the chemical gets onto your skin or into the eyes, or is
swallowed.
2. Keep this information together and easily available so that it may be used by those
administering first aid or treating the injured person.
3. Be sure the information from your chemical supplier includes instructions on how to treat any
toxic effects the chemicals have.
WARNING
Contact your doctor immediately in the event of any injury and give him the information
you have collected. If your information includes first aid instructions, administer first aid
immediately while you are contacting your doctor.
Fast treatment of the outer skin and eyes that contact such chemicals generally includes
immediate and thorough washing of the exposed skin and immediate and continuous flushing of
the eyes with lots of clean water for at least 15 minutes or more. These general instructions of first
aid treatment, however, may be incorrect for some chemicals; that is why you must know the
chemicals and treatment before an accident occurs. Treatment for swallowing a chemical
frequently depends upon the nature of the chemical.
NOTE: Refer to your System User Manual for complete and detailed operating instructions
and service information.
3.0 Equipment Safety
WARNING
Magnum Venus Plastech suggest that personal safety equipment such as EYE GOGGLES,
GLOVES, EAR PROTECTION, and RESPIRATORS be worn when servicing or operating this
equipment. Ear protection should be worn when operating a fiberglass chopper to protect
against hearing loss since noise levels can be as high as 116 dB (decibels). This
equipment should only be operated or serviced by technically trained personnel!
WARNING
Never place fingers, hands, or any body part near or directly in front of the spray gun fluid
tip. The force of the liquid as it exits the spray tip can cause serious injury by shooting
liquid through the skin. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE GUN SPRAY TIP OR POINT
THE GUN AT OR NEAR ANOTHER PERSON. (TREAT THE GUN AS IF IT WERE A LOADED
PISTOL.)
