| | Occupational Safety and Health Guideline for Hydrogen Peroxide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | Hydrogen peroxide is mutagenic in bacterial test systems and causes DNA damage, sister chromatid exchanges, and chromosomal aberrations in mammalian cells in vitro [IARC 1985]. |
 | | Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to hydrogen peroxide, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks. |
 | | Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers that are labeled in accordance with OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard [29 CFR 1910.1200]. |
