Table 3.

Severity of risk of disinfectants: hydroalcoholic gel and bleach

Product R-phrases corresponding to H-phrases Corresponding quotation of the R-phrases Rating of A and C Value of B Value of D (see factor D rating in Annex 1) Gravity of risk= [(A/B) + C]*D (see Table 4 of the level of risk according to its gravity)
(see Table 2 of R rating)
Bleach water H314 [R35] H315 [R38], H318 [R41], H319 [R36], H335 [R37] R35= 8 R38= 4 R41= 7 R36= 5 R37= 5 In our case, all the quotations of the R-phrases correspond to the A-factor, so the C-factor is equal to 0 B= 1 The employee is entirely in the operating environment, so D is equal to 5 Gravity of risk = [(29/1) +0]*5 Gravity of risk =145 Gravity of risk is greater than 70 so the product presents a serious or imminent risk.
B= 2 Gravity of risk= [(29/2) +0]*5 Gravity of risk = 72,5 Severe risk
Hydroalcoholic disinfectant H226 [R10], H319 [R36] R10=4 R36=5 B= 1 Gravity of risk= [(9/1) +0]*5 Gravity of risk =45 Risk is very high
B= 2 Gravity of risk= [(9/2) +0]*5 Gravity of risk =22.5 Medium risk
