Really? A pair of pointed scissors and sharp nail clippers could obviously cause physical
injuries such as cuts and punctures when not handled
properly.
But nail polish? I thought those bottles were unbreakable?

The hazard is in the polish itself.
Some nail polish contain dangerous chemicals that could harm your health when used without caution.

The same is true for other nail-care products you use at work such as
• Polish removers
• Nail hardeners
• Nail Adhesives

Identify the chemicals that may be hazardous to your health.

You can find this information
• On Materials Safety Data Sheets
• On labels attached to containers
![Page 14: Work Smart, Work Safe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070317/556be495d8b42a65458b4592/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

A Material Safety Data Sheet provides the following detailed information
– Identity (name of substance) – Physical Hazards (target organ) – Health Hazards – Routes of Body Entry – Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) – Carcinogenic Factors (cancer causing) – Safe-Handling Procedures – Date of Sheet Preparation – Control Measures (personal protective equipment) – Emergency First Aid Procedures (emergency telephone
number) – Contact Information (for the preparer of the sheet) – Special Instructions

It is your right to have access to the MSDS for each product you use at work that has harmful
chemicals.
ASK YOUR EMPLOYER FOR THE MSDS
![Page 16: Work Smart, Work Safe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070317/556be495d8b42a65458b4592/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Compliance Masters, Inc. 2010
It is your responsibility to read the MSDS before
using the product so you can know how to protect
yourself from harm.
ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
![Page 17: Work Smart, Work Safe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070317/556be495d8b42a65458b4592/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Step Two
Protect yourself.
![Page 18: Work Smart, Work Safe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070317/556be495d8b42a65458b4592/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Chemicals can enter the body in three ways
1. Inhalation
2. Skin absorption
3. Ingestion
![Page 19: Work Smart, Work Safe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070317/556be495d8b42a65458b4592/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Compliance Masters, Inc. 2010
PREVENT INHALATION
• Wear a dust mask to protect your lungs from acrylic dust.
• Make sure that the salon has proper ventilation with enough fresh air circulating.
• Use containers with small openings, i.e. just large enough for application brush to enter.
![Page 20: Work Smart, Work Safe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070317/556be495d8b42a65458b4592/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Compliance Masters, Inc. 2010
PREVENT INGESTION
• Don’t eat or drink at your work station. Chemicals can get on your face and in your food and these can cause health problems when swallowed.
• Be sure to wash up before eating, drinking, and smoking.
![Page 21: Work Smart, Work Safe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070317/556be495d8b42a65458b4592/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Compliance Masters, Inc. 2010
PREVENT ABSORPTION
• Wash your hands, arms, and face several times to clean off chemicals.
• Use thin vinyl or nitrile gloves and wear long sleeves to protect your skin from acrylic dust. (NOTE: Do not use latex gloves as these can cause allergic reaction in some people.)
![Page 22: Work Smart, Work Safe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070317/556be495d8b42a65458b4592/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Compliance Masters, Inc. 2010
In case of overexposure to hazardous chemicals
tell your employer immediately!
• Watch out for any physical symptoms such as skin rashes, dizziness, eye or throat irritations or strong odors
![Page 23: Work Smart, Work Safe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070317/556be495d8b42a65458b4592/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Chemicals in nail-care products may also be flammable.
Have a “no smoking” policy for both workers and customers to prevent fires.

Step Three
Be your own health and safety advocate.
![Page 25: Work Smart, Work Safe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070317/556be495d8b42a65458b4592/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Now that you know what can harm you and how to protect yourself from harm, it’s your responsibility to use these
knowledge and skills to work safely.

And should you find anything “unsafe” at your workplace, it is
your right AND responsibility to let your employer know.
