PeakOfPerfection Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Do you have Chem gloves onboard? If not, get some. Chem burns are possible when dumping 12.5% into your tank. It is required by law. Goggles as well since getting straight 12.5 in your eye is pretty much the ultimate in pain. We all spray the heck out of SH, and handled right it is very safe. But familiarity breeds carelessness and we often forget that when used and handled improperly, as with any substance, it can do harm. Handle it with care and you will save yourself and your employees a lot of pain. Keep a first aid kit onboard and your fresh water tank full...it is good for washing down anything that spills on you or the truck. 3 JetBlueRacer, Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 and GreengalyenPW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian C. Jackson Report post Posted April 10, 2014 All of those points are great. We don't have to handle raw SH as we use a drop stick to get chem onto our mix tank and get SH into our Chen tank. We transfer chem with the pump. But all are good suggestions and SH can be dangerous 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always kept a visine bottle full of distilled water on me, when cleaning roofs, just in case it got in my eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twin Ports Roof Cleaning Report post Posted June 12, 2016 That visine bottle sounds like a good idea, be ready for quick flush if need be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
