- Provisions for the safe use of cleaning agents and chemicals required for cleaning stoves, grillsand ovens. Read the attached Safety Data Sheet “SDS Selley Oven Gel” and answer the following questions:
- What are the Major Health Hazards of the product listed in the section “HazardsIdentification– Risk Phrases”?
- Risk Phrase(s): R34 Causes burns.
- R41 Risk of serious damage to eyes.
- Poisons Schedule (SUSMP): S5 Caution
- What must be considered for“Exposure Control/Personal Protection” for consumer use?
- Always Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Always Work in a well-lit and well-ventilated area
- Make sure that appropriate signage and restrictions are in place
- FirstAidMeasures:
- What should be done if the product comes in contact with skin?
Immediately remove the contaminated clothes and wash the part of the skin immediately with the running water which came in contact with the product.
- What should be done if the product comes in contact with eyes?
If the product comes in contact with your eyes, follow the simple steps:
- Wash your eyes immediately with the water.
- Repeat the steps until the irritation gets rid of.
- Immediately contact the doctor if it does not work.
- Handling and Storage:
- What should be the conditions to store the product safe?
- Always store the product low in order to minimise the contamination whenever it gets spoiled?
- Never store the food in the container as the same container may have used several time to store the several products again.
- Always label the product clearly
- The table below lists different types of cleaning agents and chemicals for bar areas and equipment.
In the column“Application examples”,list 2 applications for use for each product.
In the column“Amount of chemical required” ,calculate the amount of chemical required based on the ratio provided and the quantity of water to be used.
The formulato use is:
Example: ratio1:50 means 1 part chemical to 50 parts water
To calculate how much chemical is required for 1.000 litres(=1000 milli litres),we divide 1.000 by 50 =0.020 litres.
Now we know we need 20 ml or 0.020 litres of chemical per litre of water.
If the mixture we require uses 5.000 litres of water the nth calculation is:5.000(litres of water) divided by 0.050 (Chemical per litre)=0.100 Litres chemical.
