Make sure workers check toxins at the door
Article Abstract:
Companies should evaluate how their workers handle contaminated clothing and gear to make sure that hazardous substances are not brought out of plants and into employees' homes. Companies should obtain accurate information on material safety and chemicals handling as well as develop detailed safety practices concerning the removal, cleaning and disposal of contaminated gear. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health contamination prevention guidelines suggest that workers be required to shower and change clothes before they leave the workplace.
