PLEASE HANDLE AND TRANSPORT CHEMICALS CAREFULLY:

  • NEVER MIX CHEMICALS as this may produce dangerous reactions

  • Wherever possible keep all chemicals in their original containers

  • Ensure containers are clearly labelled and well sealed. If you do not know the contents, label the container 'UNKNOWN CHEMICAL'

  • Liquid can leak during transport: wrap containers holding liquids securely in newspaper, place in sturdy plastic bags and then plastic buckets or trays

  • Keep household chemicals away from passengers, e.g. in the boot
