Whilst safe for the healthy eye, phosphate can cause calcification of the cornea when used on an injured eye. This risk, highlighted by several studies, is also recognised and documented by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which emphasises that phosphate-based solutions for the healthy eye may pose a risk in the event of eye injury.

Vinyl acetate is an industrial chemical widely used in the production of polymers. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant fruity odor. When exposed to visible light, it polymerizes into a transparent solid.
Thioglycolic acid may cause severe chemical burns and injuries upon contact with the skin, eyes, or the respiratory or digestive tracts. It is corrosive and may even result in systemic toxicity.
Crotonaldehyde is a colorless to white liquid with a suffocating odor that turns pale yellow upon exposure to air. It is irritating to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract.
The food industry produces both finished products for consumption and intermediate products for further processing. It is diverse compared to many other industrial sectors. This diversity can be seen in terms of size and nature of the companies as well as the wide range of raw materials, products and processes. The food industry is subject to very diverse local economic, social and environmental conditions, and varying national legislations.

La brûlure chimique est donc le résultat d'une réaction chimique entre une molécule corrosive ou irritante et un ou plusieurs constituants biochimiques de la peau ou de l'œil.
La solution DIPHOTÉRINE® a une activité réduite sur l'HF. Les laboratoires PREVOR ont mis au point la solution HEXAFLUORINE® spécifiquement contre les projections de produits fluorés acides.
Le schéma ci-dessous récapitule les éléments précédents. De la rapidité de la prise en charge et de sa qualité dépendront les conséquences de la projection chimique.
Chemical burns can be extremely damaging; Diphoterine® solution works actively to stop and remove the chemical and corrosive chemical present in the human body.
When injured by a chemical, workers can feel vulnerable and panic. Easy to carry in the form of a bottle or spray, Diphoterine® solution quickly relieves any pain the injured person may feel. Effective within one minute of the incident, Diphoterine® solution is an effective means of countering the aggressive and corrosive action of the chemical.
If a chemical accident occurs in an area where there is no shower to rinse the injured person, the situation can become very complicated. Available in a compact format and can be applied in a few seconds, Diphoterine® solution solves this mobility concern which could prevent you from being able to quickly assist a worker in need.

Diphoterine® solution facilitates the maintenance of your shower network. It is essential to limit the risk of bacteriological contamination and fouling by scale. The small volume and sterile nature of Diphoterine® makes it an effective solution to reduce costs and maintenance times: one operation every two years instead of the weekly maintenance for a conventional system.
When a chemical accident occurs, the worker can panic and forget what to do. As a result of this loss of reflexes, the time it takes to assist can become a race against the clock. With Diphoterine® solution, optimum rinsing can be done within one minute of the incident, which is a much longer time frame than the 10 seconds for water.

L'entretien des tuyaux dans l'industrie alimentaire implique l'utilisation de produits à base d'acide fluorhydrique sous forme de liquide ou de pâte de décapage utilisée après les opérations de soudage.
Dans l'industrie métallurgique il existe une grande diversité de produits chimiques corrosifs et parfois toxiques, comme l’acide fluorhydrique (HF) en grandes quantités dans le but de modifier les propriétés ou l'aspect des métaux. Le risque de contact avec les nombreux produits chimiques utilisés au cours des différentes étapes reste non-négligeable pour les opérateurs.
Dans le traitement de l'eau celle ci est en mouvement et certaines projections peuvent se dérouler sur les employés à proximité, notamment ceux qui sont chargés de vérifier si le traitement se déroule sans accroc. Parmi ces étapes on retrouve la floculation, la dénitrification et la déphosphatation, où l'emploi de produits chimiques est nécessaire. Ce sont des phases où les salariés présents peuvent recevoir des projections.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a complex process that involves the use of a wide range of chemicals, including solvents, reagents, and active ingredients. While these chemicals are essential for producing life-saving medications, they can also pose significant risks to workers if proper safety measures are not in place.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of motorised personal mobility devices (MPMDs) equipped with a non-combustion engine such as scooters, bicycles, unicycles, hoverboards and similar devices. Like more and more electric vehicles, most MPMDs contain lithium-ion batteries, which are appreciated for their excellent longevity and energy storage efficiency.

Hydrofluoric acid is a key chemical in many industries, particularly as a surface treatment agent (glass, metals, ceramics, etc.) or as a reaction additive. It is used in many fields of activity, from the production of photovoltaic cells to industrial maintenance in the food industry. Despite the dangers associated with its use, there are few or no substitute products or techniques. This is why its production is growing along with its global demand.
Risk assessment for chemicals is a prerequisite to any risk prevention programme in general. It should lead to the construction of preventive actions plan in the Occupational Health Nurse’s project approach.
Since the creation of the Inter University Diploma Course « DIUST » in 1994 in France followed by a license in occupational health, legislation as well as the OHN's role keeps evolving.
