This section provides advice to our customers on the safe handling, use and storage of our photochemical solutions, best practice for waste disposal and specific advice to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding a child.
It is essential, and not difficult, to work safely with processing chemicals. The advice given here on safe working practices is aimed at all users.

Photographic chemicals are not hazardous when used correctly and when basic rules of common sense are observed. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where chemicals are handled or used. Keep all photo processing chemicals out of reach of children and animals. For your safety use suitable gloves and face or eye protection when handling or mixing chemicals. Tongs should be used for agitating prints during processing and for transfer between dishes or trays. Lab coats protect against contamination of clothing and skin.

Always follow the health and safety instructions on the packaging. Ensure darkroom areas are well ventilated. Observe good hygiene precautions, wash your hands well and clean up equipment and working areas thoroughly after use.
