Here is some safety information regarding using a pre-gluer:

Potential hazards:

• Exposure to toxic fumes from the glue
• Risk of skin or eye irritation from contact with the glue
• Fire hazard from flammable glues
• Risk of slips, trips, and falls from spills or drips of glue on the floor

Steps to be taken to manage the risks:

1. Identify the type of glue or adhesive to be used and read the label and safety data sheet to understand any potential hazards and the appropriate precautions to be taken.
2. Ensure that the work area is well-ventilated to reduce the risk of exposure to toxic fumes. If necessary, use respiratory protection equipment such as a respirator or mask.
3. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and a protective apron or clothing to minimise the risk of skin or eye irritation.
4. Ensure that any flammable glues are stored and used away from any sources of ignition, and that fire extinguishing equipment is readily available in case of emergency.
5. Clean up any spills or drips of glue immediately to minimise the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Use appropriate cleaning equipment and PPE as necessary.
6. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the application and use of the glue or adhesive, and ensure that the appropriate curing or drying time is allowed before handling or moving the glued materials.
