7.1.6.Safety suggestions for pool chemicals
Pool chemicals can be dangerous if not handled properly. Suggestions include:

• Keep pool chemicals locked up in a cool, dry place.
• Don't store pool chemicals near other chemicals or flammables, including petrol, detergents or alcohol.
• Always use chemicals strictly as instructed.
• Don't combine chemicals together - for example, mixing different types of chlorine together (such as granular and liquid) can cause an explosion.
• To avoid splashing the chemicals, add the chemicals to water - don't add the water to the chemicals.
• If you are splashed, rinse contaminated clothing straight away and wash your skin thoroughly in plenty of water.
