Safety Precautions

The main thing to remember about safety is that we're playing with chemicals that are harmful to skin, lungs, and the environment. Your best defense is a well-ventilated space. You may also want to get ahold of the following:

  • rubber gloves
  • an apron
  • a pair of goggles
  • a NIOSH/MSHA certified respirator
You can also order these pamphlets free of charge from Kodak (1-800-242-2424 x25):
  • "Safe Handling of Photograhic Chemicals"
  • "The Prevention of Contact Dermatitis in Photographic Work"
  • "The Environmental Emergency Card"
