What’s in that spray bottle?
Have you bought chemicals such as disinfectant, sanitiser and other cleaning solutions in bulk in preparation for re-opening?
Do you intend to decant them into smaller containers, such as spray bottles?
Did you know that any containers you use for those chemicals should be correctly labelled to identify the product inside?
Having chemicals in containers which are not labelled is dangerous as the users don’t know what it is or what it should be used for. They can’t assess what PPE is required or know what measures to take if it is spilled, ingested, inhaled, or gets in the eyes or on the skin
Businesses have a Duty of Care to protect staff, members and the general public against risks. This includes any chemicals they may come into contact with.
Putting a label on a container which tells the user what the chemical is fulfils this requirement.
Any use of chemicals should be backed up by a full COSHH assessment that can quickly and easily be referred to if needed.
