Chemical & Petrochemical

The chemicals industry produces a wide variety of substances and preparations which are essen-tial for use in a very broad range of applications in virtually all sectors of the economy, including:

• Base chemicals (petrochemicals and derivatives, basic inorganics and polymers) usually produced in large volumes;
• Specialty chemicals (active ingredients and co-formulants for the pharmaceu-ticals industry and plant protection, auxiliaries for industrial processes, paints & inks, biocides, and dyes and pigments) usually produced in lower volumes; and
• Consumer chemicals (soaps and detergents, perfumes and cosmetics)

The chemical industry is one of the industries with the most stringent safety regulations. Regular revision, servicing and maintenance work is required due to the high stress placed on equipment by exposure to very aggressive substances, high temperatures and pressures.

Maintenance workers in (petro-) chemical plants may come into contact with a wide variety of substances. Generally, three major sources of exposure may be dis-tinguished in chemical plant maintenance: the use of hazardous products or sub-stances; substances that are emitted as a result of certain activities; and most com-monly, substances that may be present in production facilities that are maintained.

Exposure to hazardous chemicals can have many different health effects including:

• Acute effects, such as poisoning, suffocation
• Long-term effects, for example respiratory diseases, occupational cancers
• Health effects that can be both acute and long-term, such as skin diseases, allergies, reproductive problems and birth defects
