Section 7. Handling and Storage
Keep locked up Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk,
Precautions
evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not
breathe dust. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical
advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes
Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Keep container tightly
Storage
closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Highly toxic or infectious materials should be stored in a separate
locked safety storage cabinet or room.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
Engineering Controls
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Personal Protection
