Summary
| Description |
English: The worker is ladling molten recycled lead into billets in a lead-acid battery recovery facility. Lead is an extremely toxic substance and workers must be protected from its effects. Any manufacturing operation involving lead has the potential for overexposure, and so the elements of a lead program (including provision of work clothes and PPE) are in place here.
Français : Travailleur versant du plomb issu du recyclage, fondu dans des billettes, dans une installation de récupération de batteries plomb-acide. Le plomb (inhalé sous forme de vapeur notamment) étant une substance extrêmement toxique, les travailleurs doivent être protégés de ses effets. Toute opération de fabrication impliquant du plomb présente un potentiel de surexposition et donc de saturnisme. Des vêtements de travail et un masque respiratoire filtrant sont ici fournis par l'entreprise. |
