Ministry of Health Guidelines Post Auto Repair Poisoning
The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health announced the detection of poisoning cases among workers in auto repair workshops resulting from exposure to chemical substances such as gasoline and solvents. Some workers required hospitalization, with several cases reaching intensive care units. The ministry emphasized the importance of using appropriate protective equipment, ensuring good ventilation, securely storing chemicals, refraining from using gasoline to clean the body, and warned about the dangers of inhaling fumes or skin contact with these substances, as they can cause serious poisoning even without ingestion. The ministry called on workers and workshop owners to take necessary precautionary measures to protect themselves from the risks associated with the chemicals used in vehicle repair.
