Section 7. Handling and storage
Advice on general
occupational hygiene
Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities
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. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene
measures.
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.
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.
Store locked up. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials.
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.

Protective measures
Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or
mist. Avoid release to the environment. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear
appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter storage areas and
confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the original container or an
approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in
use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source.
Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment.
Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic
discharges. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not
reuse container.

Environmental exposure
controls
:
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation.
Appropriate engineering
controls
:
Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation
or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below
any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,
vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.
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. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
