Using Information on Products

This lesson focuses on identifying hazardous materials in household products. Beginning with a review of a previous assignment, the instructor moves into the main topic of hazardous substances, defining them as those causing personal injury or illness during handling. Emphasis is placed on understanding and identifying signal words like "DANGER", "WARNING", and "POISON" on product labels, as these indicate the product's potential toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or irritant properties and are extremely important for user safety. The key routes for exposure such as ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact are all reviewed. The lesson highlights the importance of adhering to label directions, proper ventilation, and containment to minimize risks when using household products.
