Article Abstract:

The extent of the dermal exposure risks are assessed by using the safety data sheet regulations that would help employers identify the hazards and control measures that need to be taken. However, this may not be sufficient to identify any hazard where contact with the skin might occur and hence the legal requirements met by the safety data sheet must be recognized from the outset.
