Opt for Better Chemical Transferring Practices
In the chemical industry, chemical substance transfer often leads to spillage. A proper transfer plan must be prepared to prevent unnecessary spillage.
Some practices for transferring chemicals include:
- Maintaining the required environmental conditions at the transfer location.
- Providing dedicated training to the responsible employees.
- Opting for an automated dispensing system instead of manual dispensing.
- Using drip pans to capture drips and avoid spillage.
- Filtering the air in the transfer area before exhausting it to the environment.
- Using preweighed chemical substances in sealed containers or bags whenever possible.
- Cleaning the transferring container thoroughly before the operation.
- Conducting safety drills to ensure employee safety during chemical transfer.
Proper chemical transfer ensures employee safety and reduces waste generation. Facilities should prepare specific transfer procedures for the chemicals they handle, as they vary depending on the chemical substance.
