Safe Handling & Storage Procedures

Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements

⚠️ Handling Precautions

• Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.

• Handle and open container with care.

• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

• Wear suitable protective clothing and eye/face protection.

• Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

🏪 Storage Conditions

• Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place.

• Protect from air.

🔥 Fire Prevention Measures

Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

🧤 Hand Protection

Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1) chloroprene rubber (CR) - 0.5 mm coating thickness nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness polyvinylchloride (PVC) - 0.7 mm coating thickness Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.

👁️ Eye Protection

Tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles) (e.g. EN 166) and face shield.

😷 Respiratory Protection

Breathing protection if gases/vapours are formed. Gas filter for gases/vapours of alkaline compounds such as ammonia, amines (e.g. EN 14387 Type K).

🦺 Skin/Body Protection

Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).
