7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Handling
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wear personal
protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors or
mists. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Ensure
adequate ventilation. Do not take internally. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage
Keep container closed when not in use. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not
contaminate food or feed stuffs.
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health. ACGIH TLV: American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists - Threshold

Other Exposure Guidelines
Vacated limits revoked by the Court of Appeals decision in AFL-CIO v. OSHA, 965 F.2d 962
(11th Cir., 1992).
Eye/Face Protection
Skin and Body Protection
Respiratory Protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles.
Impervious gloves. Impervious clothing.
No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions. If exposure limits are
exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection should
be worn.
Hygiene Measures
When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before
re-use. Provide regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing. Keep away from
food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out
of the workplace. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. For environmental protection,
remove and wash all contaminated protective equipment before re-use. Wear suitable
gloves and eye/face protection.
