Health & Safety : Eliminate The Risks

WORX^TM products meet tough regulatory standards that safeguard employee health and safety. WORX^TM scientific formulas are worker-safe because they eliminate corrosive caustics, solvents, acids, high alkalines, and harmful toxins often found in traditional cleaning products. WORX^TM ingredients reduce or completely eliminate the health risks associated with skin irritations, respiratory ailments, and the absorption of toxins into the bloodstream. WORX^TM products do not emit vapors or contain harmful ingredients which can be absorbed through the skin or respiratory system. As an organic product, they do not release noxious odors or transient emissions like fumes and vapors.

• Non-flammable.
• Non-caustic.
• Non-carcinogenic.
• Safe-to-store.
• Safe-to-transport.

WORX^TM - NON REGULATED.

WORX^TM products are not regulated by Workplace Hazardous Materials Information Systems (WHMIS), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Transportation of Dangerous Goods act (TDG), and meet or exceed USA, Canadian, and other national governments' safety and environmental regulatory requirements.

WORX^TM REDUCES THE TRUE COST.

It is estimated that safety, environmental, transportation, handling, and storage issues make the true cost of using traditional cleaners and other products that contain harmful ingredients 8 times greater than that of nature based cleaners. In human terms, it is estimated that over 8,000 workers die each year in the Province of Ontario, Canada, from cancer, lung disease and other illnesses caused by exposure to toxic substances in their workplace. Occupational dermatitis (OD) is a form of skin irritation that often appears in industrial employees. Why? Industry workers' skin comes into contact with toxic and contaminating materials on a daily basis, and most hand cleaners exacerbate the problem by causing sensitivity and rawness in the skin. Abrasive and caustic cleaners might remove the stains, but at what cost to your employee's health?

WORX^TM ELIMINATES.

• Operational safety issues related to hazardous goods transportation, handling, storage, and safe use of traditional cleaning products.
• Safety clothing required for handling many traditional cleaning products.
• Costs associated with equipment contamination due to hazardous cleaning materials use in pipes, tanks, process vessels, pumps, and conveyor systems.
• Concern about allowable exposure limits to hazardous solvent reduction by regulatory agencies like OSHA.

WORX^TM ELIMINATES HEALTH RISKS.

Exposure to harmful toxic substances and chemicals can damage the nervous system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, heart, liver and skin. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified various solvents and chemicals found in many traditional cleaners as possible human carcinogens. Our industrial hand cleaners are specially formulated to reduce or eliminate the risk of illness or discomfort from prolonged and multiple uses.

WORX^TM ELIMINATES HARMFUL VAPORS.

• Chemicals entering the body through the air can cause chafing and swelling of the skin and the development of red, itchy eyes, runny nose and sinus congestion. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing and labored breathing. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea have also been reported, as have painful, swollen joints and headaches.
• A 1986 study of asthma patients found 72% experienced a reduction in lung function as a result of exposure to noxious chemicals.
• Dermatologists report various odors from cosmetics, chemicals, and solvents as a common cause of occupational dermatitis.
• The National Headache Foundation in the United States considers volatile chemicals, including those found in solvent-based cleaning agents, to be a major cause of headaches.
