In all sectors that require the use of commercial chemicals and cleaners, there is some minimal amount of risk to the employee using the chemical. We want our Billings, MT customers to understand how they can protect their employees and avoid commercial chemical pitfalls.
Potential Health Issues
Some of the chemicals used in industrial strength cleaners can be irritating to the skin and the eyes. Rashes can occur and in some cases, severe burns can be caused by exposure. Chemicals that are inhaled can pose a risk to the respiratory system.
Things to consider when assessing the risk of commercial chemicals are:
- What ingredients are in this cleaner?
- How will this product be used and stored within the business?
- Is the area where it will be used properly ventilated?

- Will this cleaning solution be likely to come into contact with an employees skin?
- Will any vapors be emitted when using this product?
