What to Do After a Chemical Exposure at Your Workplace?

chemical exposure at your workplace | Gaylord & Nantais

Here are the steps you should take after a chemical exposure at your workplace:

Know What Chemicals You Work With

It’s important to know what chemicals you work with and what they are capable of. Study the MSDS sheets that are on file at your company.

Call 911 and Other Necessary Authorities

Call 911 immediately as well as any other officials who might need to be notified. While 911 is usually all that is needed, know what your company’s protocols are so others can be notified if needed.

Seek Medical Attention

Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Always get a thorough examination after any type of workplace accident. This will prevent you from having any prolonged injuries after the fact.

Take Pictures of the Scene If You Are Able

Take pictures of the scene if you are able to do so. These will be helpful when trying to reconstruct the scene of the accident.

Call a Worker’s Compensation Attorney

Call a Worker’s Compensation attorney as soon as possible. With any Worker’s Compensation injury, there are strict filing guidelines that must be followed. They will also be able to protect your rights in case of any litigation.

Discuss the Accident When Your Attorney Is Present

Your employer will want to discuss the accident with you. Make sure that you do not say anything until your attorney is present and can supervise the interview.
