ABSTRACT
On daily basis, emergency medical service’s staff (EMS) is exposed to different chemical hazardous products. The most common chemical hazards for EMS are related to vehicle fluids (during maintenance work as well as attending patients who have suffered a traffic accident), cleaning and disinfection products, compressed gas and drugs handling. The hazardous products are evaluated together with the PPE security data tables called global Harmonized System (GHS/SGA) and the laws related to them. The PPEs that are used are good enough in most cases; it is important to use them while checking and servicing the vehicle, working at traffic accident sites, cleaning and disinfecting the ambulance and instruments and when dangerous medication is being manipulated. Each EMS must check the PPEs they give their staff. Training and establishing safety protocols for the EMS workers in these situations is very important.
