Chemical Hazards in the Suite

The idea
Hazardous chemicals in the surgical suite include sterilants, strong detergents, and bone cement used in orthopedic surgery.
In practice
Bone cement is mixed only in a closed system, and quick-drench eye and body flushing facilities must be available where corrosive materials are used.
Where people slip
Use the protective equipment the label calls for, such as goggles and gloves.
