Use Toxicity Ratings to Help Ensure Worker Safety - Technical Article

Use Toxicity Ratings to Help Ensure Worker Safety, outlines how understanding chemical toxicity is vital for protecting workers in electronics, medical, aerospace, and industrial environments. It introduces key toxicity measures—such as Threshold Limit Values (TLVs), Personal Exposure Limits (PELs), and Assigned Exposure Limits (AELs)—to help professionals choose safer cleaning agents. The article explains how high toxicity ratings (e.g., 1000 ppm) indicate safer options and discusses how factors like vapor pressure and dispensing methods influence exposure risk. It encourages safety-conscious selection of chemistries, use of Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and incorporation of controlled dispensing tools like TriggerGrip™ to reduce workplace hazards
