In the UK, and I guess the rest of Europe, we have to do COSHH (control of
substances hazardous to health) assesments for all substances used on a
commercial site. This includes not just process chemicals (where used) but
stuff that is to be used by cleaners and even in the kitchens.

No, not the food obviously, though there are differing opinions on this :-)

Some of these products may well be the same as those available to the home
consumer and when you see what's in some of them.......
