STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: All employees who handle this material should be trained to use it safely. Open
containers carefully on a stable surface or hold securely when using. Empty containers can contain residual material; therefore,
empty containers should be handled with care. Store containers in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, sources of intense
heat, or where freezing is possible. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10, Stability and Reactivity). Keep
container tightly closed when not in use. Inspect all incoming containers before storage, to ensure containers are properly labeled and
not damaged. Control possible sources of ignition.
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 or appropriate Canadian standards.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS - PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use with adequate ventilation to ensure exposure levels are maintained below
the limits provided in Section 2 (Composition and Information on Ingredients). Ensure eyewash/safety shower stations are available
near areas where this product is used.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None needed under normal conditions of use. Use NIOSH approved respirators if ventilation is
inadequate to control dusts, mists, fumes or vapors. Maintain airborne contaminate concentrations below guidelines listed in Section 2
(Composition and Information on Ingredients). Oxygen levels below 19.5% are considered IDLH by OSHA. In such atmospheres use
of a full-face-piece pressure/demand SCBA or a full face-piece, supplied air respirator with auxiliary self-contained air supply is
required under OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134).
EYE PROTECTION: For consumer use, wearing eye protection (such as splash goggles) is advisable. However, for specific
industrial applications, enhanced eye protection can be necessary. Use approved safety goggles or safety glasses, as described in
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133, or appropriate Canadian standards.
HAND PROTECTION: For consumer use, wearing protective gloves is recommended. For specific industrial applications, wear
chemical impervious gloves (e.g., Neoprene or Nitrile). If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 or the appropriate
standards of Canada.
BODY PROTECTION: For consumer use, no specific body protection is normally needed. For specific industrial applications, body
protection is not normally needed. Use body protection appropriate for task (e.g., Tyvek suit, rubber apron). If a hazard of injury to
the feet exists due to falling objects, rolling objects, where objects can pierce the soles of the feet or where employee’s feet can be
exposed to electrical hazards, use foot protection, as described in U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.136.
HMIS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT RATING: Industrial Use situations: B; Safety glasses and gloves.
