Safety and hygiene
These basic safety and hygiene rules
must be obeyed whenever you
are using paint.
• Carefully read the instructions
printed on the can before starting
to paint.
• In particular, check the safety label
for the precautions which must
be taken for each product.
• Certain paint ingredients (particularly
in antifouling) are irritant if
touched, noxious if inhaled and sometimes
are toxic.
These dangers, which vary from
6487...
product to product, are clearly indicated
on the safety label by the appropriate
symbols and with the relevant
precautions.
• Do not smoke when painting.
• Almost all paints contain inflammable
solvents which evaporate
during drying. Be careful not to
inhale the vapours, especially in a
closed environment. Ensure adequate
ventilation to avoid the accumulation
of vapours and the risk of
fire or explosion and use an appropriate
mask.
• Always wear gloves, a mask and
protective goggles.
• Always sand with wet sandpaper
on a wet surface, particularly with
antifouling, and wear gloves, a mask
and protective goggles.
• Use the water-based paint stripper
AQUASTRIP to remove old
paint. Dry sand or use a heat stripper
only where it is impossible to
use another method.
• When you have finished, or during
breaks for refreshment, thoroughly
wash your hands with soap
and water or with a hand cleansing
agent. Never use thinners or strippers
based on solvents to wash
your hands.
Veneziani labels comply with EEC regulations incorporated into Italian legislation regarding dangerous products and materials.

death, if they are inhaled, ingested or allowed to penetrate the skin.

or allowed to penetrate the skin.
