PREVENT IT: Exposure to Dangerous Chemicals
Storyboard Text
- Hooray! I'm so proud of you m'boy!
- Dad! I got the job at the lab!
- I had a friend in my old lab who touched the tray of Benzene, which led to him getting leukaemia
- Hm.. Just by coming into contact with them can kill you
- I heard that the lab works with a lot of hazardous chemicals though...
- Loads. Ranging from poisoning, chemical burns, and even birth defects
- WOAH! What other health effects can these chemicals cause?
- Your employer will also give you more details and further training, so pay attention!
- Glad you asked. Make sure to be always wearing personal protective equipment like your eye goggles and gloves
- Be sure to act responsibly in the workplace as you are responsible for your own safety and others!
- Well, how do I protect myself from this while dealing with chemicals in the workplace?
- Be sure to pay attention to them! They'll keep you safe son!
- There is also a cool system called WHMIS. WHMIS is Canada's national hazard information system set up to protect the health of all workers and employer's, and ensure their safety.
- WHMIS includes labels on all chemicals to describe the hazard
- Flammable
- Haha. WHMIS is truly Canada's hero...
- WOW! Thank you WHMIS!
