CHEMICALS IN THE WORKPLACE
Appendix X: Chemical groups
Health hazards in the electronics industry, lnternational Metalworkers' Federation, Asia Monitor Resource Centre, Hong Kong, 1985.
Chemicals used or occurring in electronics manufacturing are listed here under general groups. This chemical groups list can be used (1) to identify specific names of chemicals, and (2) to group chemicals generally according to use and type of hazard. For example, you are using certain acids, but are not sure what specific kinds. The group list for acids provides specific names which may help you to identify the acids you are using.
Alkalis (Bases)
Alkaline or base substances are used primarily for cleaning and scouring. Like acids, they are acutely hazardous, especially in concentrated form. Most have strong caustic or corrosive action, and as such should be clearly labeled with warning placards. Be sure to use protective gear especially for the face, eyes, hands and lungs.

After a worker is injured is when they need the support of their employer the most. But injured workers aren't given a level playing field. The company doctor often times is not helping them and the case manager isn't either. The worker is left alone to fend for themselves and to make mistakes that result in lower benefits or fewer weeks of benefits. Some are sent back to work too soon. There is only one person on your side and that understands this system. If your lawyer doesn't understand the nature of this claim you've got the wrong lawyer.
