In chemical plants, in order for most materials to be volatile and flammable, electrical safety equipment must be provided and given special attention, because most of the devices used work with electricity and electricity. Thus, a short moment and neglect in this field can lead to irreparable damage, including terrible fires.
The MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) or "Material Safety Data Sheet" is a manual for a chemical that provides information about the nature of the substance, identifying potential risk factors, and ways to control it.
Equipment for working at height
Some jobs are done at unusual heights, such as light poles, electric or telecommunication towers, construction workers, and for this purpose, and in addition to personal safety equipment such as gloves and helmets, a series of special equipment is required. It is called work equipment at height.
