Workshop: chemical threats - prevention and aftercare

Chemical burns occur due to the action of chemicals on the skin and tissues underneath. This allows the chemical to enter the bloodstream. It is essential to treat such wounds quickly and correctly.
Therefore, when your employees may come into contact with hazardous chemicals, preventive measures to ensure their safety are necessary. Vandeputte, together with Lakeland, Prévor, Guide is organising two workshops where you will learn all about:

 

  • The risk and mechanism of chemical burns 
  • The principles of emergency treatment (Flushing with water/ neutralising solution)
  • The safe clearance of chemical spills
  • The widespread misunderstanding of a key EN standard for PPE – and why it matters
  • How new technology built around established science provides the solution in a simple smart-phone app
  • The Lakeland chemical protective clothing range that provides effective “Safe-Wear Times” for chemical suit users

 

Vandeputte, together with Lakeland, Prévor and Guide, is organising two half-day workshops at two locations.
