Welcome to the safety labelling system
All Kitchenmaster products are labelled correctly and contain the correct and appropriate health and safety information.
It is extremely important to read the label to find out about any potential dangers to your health and how to protect yourself from harm. If you are unsure, speak to your supervisor or manager before using the product.
There is a big difference between hazard classification. For example, between a manual washing up liquid and an automatic dishwashing detergent, and to confuse the two, could have serious injury implications.
Hazard Symbols
There are a variety of icons within the red diamonds which depending on the chemical formulation indiate clearly what the potential hazards might be. Kitchenmaster products may carry one of five pictograms. Lets look at these now, note that some products may carry more than one hazard pictogram.
This can signify a number of hazards. The product may cause skin irritation and/or sensitisation or eye irritation. It may be a respiratory irritant or cause dizziness or drowsiness, or might be acutely toxic (harmful) or be hazardous to the ozone layer. Read the label to identify the specific hazard and how to protect yourself.
These products are corrosive and can cause severe damage to skin and eyes. May cause damage to metal items.
These products are harmful to the environment, especially marine life, so should be disposed of appropriately.
These are products that can cause or intensify fire and explosions. These products should be stored separately from any flammable or combustible materials.
These products are highly flammable and must be kept away from any potential sources of ignition.
Personal & Protective Equipment (PPE)
In addition to the hazard and precautionary statement all Kitchenmaster products carry a personal, protective, equipment symbol showing what PPE you should wear when handling the product in it’s concentrated format.
You should wear the appropriate gloves when handling this product. You should generally wear gloves when handling most commercial chemicals.
You should wear eye protection when handling this product. Used for chemicals which may cause severe eye damage or irritation due to splashing.
You should wear an apron when handling this product. Used when a product may cause severe skin burns due to splashing or accidental spillages.
You should wear a face mask when handling this product. Used where a mist or vapour may occur or with powder products.
The Ten Golden Rules
If you are in doubt ask a more experienced member of staff for advice or contact our customer service department.
Always read the label carefully. Remember, the presence of a red diamond warns you that there is a hazard present and therefore you will need to wear the appropriate PPE to avoid direct contact with your skin and most importantly, your eyes.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on dilution rates and application techniques, which are usually found on the product guidance sheet and chemical label.
If you are unsure request further product training from one of our customer service team.
Wear the recommended personal protective equipment. It is your responsibility to use the personal protective equipment provided.
Never mix chemicals together – this can be highly dangerous.
Some commonly used chemicals when mixed together can form chlorine gas which is toxic. The use of bleach combined with acid toilet descaler are a major source of potential danger, so watch out.
Never put chemicals into unlabelled bottles or containers.
All chemicals must be easily identifiable at all times. Kitchenmaster provides numerous labelled bottles for various products and you should ensure that these are ordered, in stock and used.
Ensure the chemicals are stored safely and securely in a designated area.
Always store them in their original containers, upright with the caps tightened, and out of the reach of children and general public.
If an accident does occur, as a first step wash/rinse the splashes of the chemical immediately away with cold clean, water. You will also need to be aware of the appropriate first aid requirements, which can be found on the product safety data sheet.
Report any incidents to your manager and seek medical advise once you have carried out the initial accident response measures.
Treat all professional cleaning and hygiene chemicals with respect. They are not intended to cause harm they are intended to clean effectively in busy and demanding environments. You must also take your time when cleaning safely. Being “too busy” is no excuse, because most accidents are caused when people are rushing, being careless and not thinking clearly.
