What should clients be informed to do during the use of sealants or bonding chemicals?

Clients should be informed to ventilate the work area during the use of sealants or bonding chemicals because proper ventilation is essential to ensure that any potentially harmful fumes or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can dissipate efficiently. Many sealants and bonding agents can release vapors that may be irritating or harmful when inhaled, and adequate airflow helps to mitigate these risks.

By keeping windows open or utilizing fans, the concentration of fumes in the air can be reduced, promoting a safer work environment for both the clients and the contractors performing the work. This practice is vital for minimizing exposure to hazardous substances and ensuring that the space remains safe during and after the application of those materials. Proper ventilation is a standard safety protocol in many construction and home improvement projects involving chemicals.
