Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Ensure adequate ventilation. Liquid enzyme preparations are dustfree preparations. However, inappropriate handling may cause formation of dust or aerosols.
Keep tightly closed in a dry and cool place.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Maintain good conditions of industrial hygiene. Some processes may require enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels. Additional handling and healthy/safety information is available upon request
Safety glasses with side-shields
In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment that meets HEPA/P100 specifications
No special technical protective measures are necessary
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained
