About This Product
Phenol is reserved for authorised procedures that specifically require it. Staff dispense the minimum quantity in a fume hood or approved ventilated area, wearing splash goggles, compatible gloves and a lab coat, and avoid all vapour, dust and skin contact. Prepared materials are labelled with name, concentration, date and hazards, and residues, wipes, gloves and contaminated tools are collected as phenol-containing hazardous waste.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why is phenol restricted to trained staff?
Phenol can be absorbed through the skin and can damage the eyes, skin, respiratory system, liver and kidneys, so it needs a fume hood, protective equipment and restricted access.
