RECOMMENDATIONS ON RISK MANAGEMENT Closed manufacturing processes, high performance forced-air or local exhaust ventilation at the work zone, use of personal protection equipment. Minimization of quantity of exposed workers. Use of special dispensers and pumps designed to prevent splashes / spills. Effective removal of contaminants. Minimization of manual phases. Avoidance of contact with contaminated tools and objects. Regular cleaning of equipment and work area. Verification of the appropriate use of risk management measures. Ensure high levels of personal hygiene. Inform consumers through labeling. 9.

8 Thus, GPS safety risk calculations performed only for production, processing, use and disposal of chemicals (in accordance with the ECHA Guidelines on Safety Assessment). The analysis shows that risks could be adequately controlled through the use of standardized technical, organizational measures, which are designed and operated by Nevinnomysskiy Azot. 12.
