  purchasing only the safest products. Obtain an
  MSDS for each specific product used.
• Ensure containers are correctly tagged with the
  correct hazmat labels. Be wise enough not to use

  recommendations provided in the MSDS. Use pellets
  with inbuilt bunds for the storage of chemicals
  to prevent spills. In case of spillage, make
  quick to clean up. Have spill control kits
  accessible near the storage area.

  the MSDS. Educate employees on the use of PPE as
