Safe Handling & Storage Procedures

Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements

⚠️ Handling Precautions

• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

• Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.

• Further processing of solid materials may result in the formation of combustible dusts.

• The potential for combustible dust formation should be taken into consideration before additional processing occurs.

🏪 Storage Conditions

• Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

🏭 Engineering Controls
