Emergency and First Aid Procedures

Inhalation: Get fresh air, have your coffee under a tree.

Eye Contact: Buy boring American coffee machines instead of having the fancy cappuccino
contraptions.

Mardi Gras tossing coffee beans with his beads and dubloons on Canal Street and wishes to
keep the State's well-earned reputation of culinary experts.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Make iced coffee or ask your secretary to get it.
Ventilation: Keep all windows shut when brewing, otherwise you’ll ruin the effect with the
eggs and bacon.
Administrative Controls: Do not allow purchase of the decaffeinated version if you want it to
wake up.
Respiratory Protection: ditto on ventilation
Protective Clothing/Equipment: Make sure you put a coffee filter in the machine, unless you
have digestive problems, then if so, leave it out.
Safety Stations: Put a paper towel under your cup so you don’t leave a ring on the counter or
your table. If you want to impress you boss or a client, disregard this so they will think you
stayed up late and being sloppy is okay; at least you did the job.

need evidence.

around when you’re visiting.
