Health and safety issues with resins and resin handling

Your answer should reflect the section Health and safety issues , which we summarise as:
Take care to:

• Avoid skin contact with all uncured resin systems, because of the potential for inducing an allergic reaction with long-term consequences
  
• Provide sufficient ventilation/extraction to remove solvent fumes which are irritant and can affect people who suffer from asthma.
  

Avoid the general hazards presented by:

• High pressure air lines used for dispensing
  
• Machinery used for high volume dispensing
  
• Moulding machines operating at high temperatures and very high pressure
  
• UV light sources used in curing polymer adhesives
  
• Contact with hot materials and curing process equipment.
