The core of properly using construction chemicals lies in standardized operations, comprehensive protection, scientific storage, and professional disposal-all aimed at ensuring construction safety and project quality. The following are key points summarized based on national regulations and industry best practices:
Pre-Use Preparation: Prioritizing Both Information and Protection
Consult Safety Data Sheets (SDS/MSDS)
Before using any chemical, you must carefully read its Safety Data Sheet to understand its composition, potential hazards, emergency response measures, and handling requirements.
Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Depending on the nature of the chemical, equip yourself with appropriate protective gear-such as protective gloves, safety goggles, respirators/gas masks, and protective clothing-to prevent skin contact or the inhalation of vapors.
Ensure a Safe Working Environment
Maintain adequate ventilation at the construction site to prevent the accumulation of hazardous gases;
Keep chemicals away from open flames and high-temperature sources; specifically for flammable chemicals (such as paints and thinners), implement appropriate fire prevention and explosion-proof measures.
During Use: Strictly Adhere to Procedures and Prevent Mishandling
Operate According to Instructions
Strictly follow the mixing ratios, application methods, and environmental conditions specified in the product instructions; do not arbitrarily alter the work process.
Use Dedicated Tools
Avoid direct manual contact with chemicals; instead, use dedicated tools-such as mixing rods, spray equipment, etc.-to perform the work.
Control Usage Volume and Prevent Spills
Mix chemicals only as needed for immediate use to prevent evaporation or waste caused by preparing large batches in advance;
Set up containment barriers or place absorbent pads in the work area to prevent spills from contaminating the surrounding environment.
