Reducing Worker Exposure to Toxic Chemicals

Numerous industrial companies require the use of certain types of chemicals in order to clean parts, metals, and materials, so that those pieces can be utilized to perform as intended. Industrial companies rely on chemical cleaning agents for their business to thrive, because products that have not been properly cleaned can lead to serious problems, including operation malfunction, lower than expected functionality, and loss of business. In the past, because of the inherent need to clean parts and materials, people who are responsible for implementing the cleaning protocol were exposing themselves to toxic chemicals, whether knowingly and not taking the matter seriously, or unknowingly due to ignorance of the severity of these toxic chemicals. Fortunately, nowadays there is a stringent focus on not only reducing, but also eliminating the potential of harm caused from the exposure to toxic chemicals.

Reducing worker exposure to toxic chemicals is an important matter to all federal regulatory committees. The key is to expose the harmful effects of certain chemical compounds, and alert companies using these chemicals that their business must find alternative sources of chemicals for cleansing materials. Unfortunately, some of these businesses can be stubborn, and will either delay or refuse the transition to another cleaning agent because they have become so accustomed to the one their company has been using, likely for years with consistent success. No matter how much success a company has had with their particular cleaning agent, there is no excuse to allowing workers to endanger themselves by handling toxic chemicals. It is important to explain to these business that, first, it is illegal to ignore the mandates set forth by regulatory committees regarding the stoppage of any use of cleaning chemicals deemed toxic.

The next step is to explain to these businesses that remarkable strides have been made in creating chemical cleaners that are not hazardous to the health of those who come into contact with them, and can clean as efficiently and effectively as traditional cleaners.
