7. HANDLING and STORAGE
WORK PRACTICES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES: As with all chemicals, avoid getting this product ON YOU or IN YOU.
Wash thoroughly after handling this product. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or apply cosmetics while handling this product. Avoid
breathing vapors, mists, or sprays of this product. Use in a well-ventilated location. Remove contaminated clothing
immediately.
STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: All employees who handle this material should be trained to handle it safely.
Keep away from heat, sparks, and other sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Open containers
slowly on a stable surface. Use non-sparking tools. Bond and ground containers during transfers of material. If this product is
transferred into another container, only use portable containers and dispensing equipment (faucet, pump, drip can) approved
for flammable liquids. Store containers in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, sources of intense heat, or where
freezing is possible. Material should be stored in secondary containers or in a diked area, as appropriate. Store away from
incompatible materials (see Section 10, Stability and Reactivity). Containers should be separated from oxidizing materials by a
minimum distance of 20 ft. or by a barrier of non-combustible material at least 5 ft. high having a fire-resistance rating of at
least 0.5 hours. Storage areas should be made of fire resistant materials. Post warning and “NO SMOKING” signs in storage
and use areas, as appropriate. Have appropriate extinguishing equipment in the storage area (e.g., sprinkler system, portable
fire extinguishers). Inspect all incoming containers before storage to ensure containers are properly labeled and not damaged.
Refer to NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, for additional information on storage. Empty containers may
contain residual amounts of this product; therefore, empty containers should be handled with care. Never perform any
welding, cutting, soldering, drilling, or other hot work on an empty container or piping until all liquid, vapors, and residue
have been cleared.
PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices indicated in
Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures). Make certain that application equipment is locked and tagged-out safely, if
necessary. Collect all rinsates and dispose of according to applicable U.S. Federal, State, or local procedures and
appropriate Canadian standards, or those of EU Member States.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS - PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use with adequate ventilation to ensure exposure levels are maintained
below the limits provided below, if applicable. Use a non-sparking, grounded, explosion-proof ventilation system separate
from other exhaust ventilation systems. Exhaust directly to the outside, taking necessary precautions for environmental
protection. Ensure eyewash/safety shower stations are available near areas where this product is used.

with an increased risk of skin cancer. See Section 16 for Definitions of Terms Used.
EYE PROTECTION: Splash goggles or safety glasses. Face-shields should be worn if operations will generate splashes or
sprays. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133, Canadian Standards, or the European Standard EN166.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Maintain airborne contaminant concentrations below exposure limits listed above, if
applicable. If respiratory protection is needed, use only protection authorized in the U.S. Federal OSHA Standard (29 CFR
1910.134), applicable U.S. State regulations, the Canadian CSA Standard Z94.4-93, the European Standard EN149, or
Standards of EU member states. Oxygen levels below 19.5% are considered IDLH by OSHA. In such atmospheres, use of a
full-facepiece pressure/demand SCBA or a full facepiece, supplied air respirator with auxiliary self-contained air supply is
required under OSHAs Respiratory Protection Standard (1910.134-1998). The following are NIOSH respiratory protective
equipment for Kerosenes.
