CORROSIVE COMPOUNDSACIDS / ALKALIS

• - CAN CAUSE IRRITATION AND/OR BURNING OF THE SKIN
  AND OTHER BODY TISSUES.
• - CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO METALS

4
POISONS

• - CAN BE TOXIC OR HARMFUL BY INGESTION, OR
  THROUGH SKIN ABSORPTION.

5
FLAMMABLE

• - CAN BURN WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT OR SPARK SOURCES

6
OXIDANTS

• - CAN CAUSE OTHER ITEMS, SUCH AS WOOD TO BURN, OR
  - CAUSE OTHER CHEMICALS TO REACT -
  RELEASE OXYGEN

7
MAKING COCKTAILS

• Acid plus alkali makes heat, and spluttering.
• Acid plus chlorine can create toxic gases.
• Anionic plus cationics may not cause obvious
  reactions but can neutralise each other.
• DONT DO IT UNLESS UNDER DIRECT SUPERVISION.

ROUTES OF POISONING

• EYES
• SKIN
• INHALATION
• INGESTION
