Advice on general occupational hygiene
Do not store below the following temperature: 35°C (95°F). Store in accordance
with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a
dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section
10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for
use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright
to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Persons with a
history of skin sensitization problems should not be employed in any process in
which this product is used. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest.
Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible
material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product
residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before
eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional
information on hygiene measures.

Appropriate engineering
controls
No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control
worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients with
exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering
controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory limits.
Environmental exposure
controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they
comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume
scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to
reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating,
smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate
techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated work
clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before
reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation
location.
Respiratory protection
Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a
risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known
or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the
selected respirator.
