RISK ASSESSMENT The key to hazard assessment and proper storage of hazardous substances is the
Material Safety Data Sheet, also known as the MSDS / SDS. When dealing with a
hazardous substance, the manufacturer is obliged to put a pictogram at the beginning of the card, thanks to which we can
quickly identify and assign it to a given group of hazards.

Health / Environment Hazard below 21 -55°C
health hazard
May cause an allergic skin reaction or serious eye irritation; harmful if swallowed or
inhaled; harmful to the environment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and release
to the environment. Since we can already interpret the information
contained in the safety data sheet, such as
the type of the GHS pictogram, we can choose
a solution that will allow us to safely store
Serious health risk hazardous substances.
health hazard
May damage fertility or the unborn child, cause cancer, allergies or asthma
symptoms, damage organs. Familiarize yourself with the safety measures before
use. Avoid breathing dust or vapors. Store locked up. Call a poison center or doctor /
physician if respiratory symptoms occur.
