A Friendly Safety Bulletin Reminder

Companies are responsible for proper training of manpower and the mandatory use of safety equipment (gloves and goggles) when cleaning beer lines and breweries. It is strongly suggested that a company program be in place to protect your company and employees. Make your management aware. Have your management consult your insurance company or your personnel department to implement a program suited to your needs.

Draftec recommends these 5 PRECAUTIONS to ensure safety

1. Diluting
   When diluting chemical concentrate, always add the chemical to water first and never add water to the chemical. Adding water to concentrated caustic chemical can cause a rapid increase in temperature.

2. Protection

   Personal protection equipment including rubber gloves and eye protection should be used whenever handling line cleaning chemicals.

3. Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

   Cleaning solution suppliers offer Safety Data Sheets (SDS) on their products. Cleaning personnel should have these sheets and follow their procedures while handling line cleaning chemicals.

4. Training

   Cleaning personnel should be well trained in handling hazardous chemicals.

5. Rinse 

   Rinse all chemicals after cleaning. Check rinse water with PH tests strips or a PH meter to be certain draft line is free of any chemical residue. Why would you take a chance that could end up getting someone hurt?

CLEAN ONCE, CLEAN RIGHT!
