These risks are greatest when a worker is handling the concentrate, but the diluted product is still strong enough to cause harm. Train your employees in safe work procedures. Insist that protective gloves and goggles are worn, particularly when your employee is handling concentrated stripper products. Many accidents occur when a worker lifts a full mop bucket to pour its contents into a janitorial sink. Teach your employees safe lifting methods.
Some floor stripping products affect indoor air quality.
However, strippers usually have their biggest potential impact if they are improperly disposed of outdoors. If that is the case, do your stripping work at night, on weekends, or during holidays. Also, open windows if possible and use fans to increase the amount of outside air flowing into the area where you are working. Take care that these fans don't make the new floor finish dry unevenly. Floor stripper products should never be disposed of outdoors.
