Section 2 (Hazards) and Section 8 (Exposure controls) not understood

6. Dialogue

🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue

🐥

Piyo: Poppo, why do stylists need to read Safety Data Sheets? Aren't those for factories?

🦉

Poppo: Every chemical product in a salon — colour, perm solution, keratin treatment, disinfectant — has an SDS. Section 2 tells you the hazards, Section 4 tells you what to do if something goes wrong, Section 8 tells you what PPE to wear. If you use the product, you need the information.

🐥

Piyo: But they're 16 sections long and written for chemists!

🦉

Poppo: Focus on Sections 2, 4, 7, and 8. Print the key points as a one-page station card. That's what UK COSHH assessments are — translating the SDS into practical salon language.

🐮

Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — the SDS is the manufacturer's honest conversation about their product.
