7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

A. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING

Protect from physical damage.

B. CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE (INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES)

Avoid contact with eyes. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from

sources of heat, moisture, incompatibilities, and direct sunlight. Have

emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

A. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT(S), BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE STANDARD

OSHA-PEL 0.05 mg/m3 (Lead), 1 mg/m3 (Sulfuric acid), 0.5 mg/m3 (Antimony)

ACGIH-TLV TWA 0.05 mg/m3 (Lead), TWA 0.2 mg/m3 (Sulfuric acid, TWA 0.5 mg/m3(Antimony)

B.APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROLS

Use local exhaust ventilation if necessary to control airborne mist and vapor.

C. INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION MEASURES

Respiratory protection: If significant mists or aerosols are generated an approved respirator is

recommended. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete

respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training,

maintenance and inspection.

Eye protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Hand protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves. Gloves should be replaced immediately if
