a) Labelling Toxic Substances
To prevent errors in use, chemicals for cleaning and sanitation must be clearly labeled. Less clear labeling allow misuse. Labeling for toxic substances can be done in two ways, namely labeling in the original container and container whose contents will be used. Original label on the container must show the name of the substance or solution, the name and address of the manufacturer, registration number and instructions on how to use them correctly. Labels on chemical containers are ready for use must be stated clearly show the name of the substance or solution, and instructions on how to use them correctly.
b) Use of Toxic Substances
The use of toxic chemicals, cleaners, and sanitation in the fishing industry should be adjusted to the instructions and requirements of the plant (Table 2.7). Procedures use of toxic materials must be able to prevent contamination of the fishery products.
c) Storage of Toxic Substances
Cleaning chemicals should be stored in a special and separate from other materials. Similarly, chemicals for sanitation. Toxic materials must be stored in a room with limited access. Only employees who were given kewe-handedness may enter the storage room. Separate chemicals used for food and non-food. Keep out of the equipment and other objects in contact with fishery products.
Employee Health

Employees who are ill and can contaminate material suspected or fishery products banned from working in the unit handling or processing. Types of diseases that can be polluting and contaminating materials and fishery products include cough, flu, diarrhea and skin diseases. Workers who are injured on his palms should also be barred from working in the handling and processing units.

Flies and cockroaches are carrying insects Staphylococcus, Shigella, Clostridium perfringens, and C. Botulinum. While bird carrier Salmonella and Listeria.
In the salted fish, insects lay their eggs during the drying process. When the situation has allowed, the eggs will hatch. Larvae are born will receive food from him. Having grown and metamorphosed, insects will fly to left holes on the surface of dried fish. To cope with pests, pest eradication program should be prepared regularly. Fumigation is one way that many used to treat pests in storage sheds.
