Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

The removal of the polythene film from IBC (big bags) and palletised sacks may generate an electrostatic charge and should therefore not be carried out in atmospheres containing flammable vapours. Big bags should be handled on pallets or sling hoists designed for the purpose. Never lift using all four loops on a single hook. When using a fork lift truck place two loops over each fork and ensure that the weight is evenly distributed. Special care should be taken when piling the material. Pallets with big bags or paperbags are unsuitable as foundation.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from strong light. Once opened, close and seal bags to avoid contamination, moisture uptake and dusting.

Fire prevention

The removal of the polythene film from IBC (big bags) and palletised sacks may generate an electrostatic charge and should therefore not be carried out in atmospheres containing flammable vapours.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by containment at source, local exhaust ventilation (LEV) and good general extraction.

Hands

Use rubber safety gloves (EN 420/EN 374) or skin-protecting ointments when direct in contact with the pigment.

Eyes

Prevent eyes for dust. Use safety glasses with side-shields.

Respiratory

If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulate below the relevant exposure limits, suitable respiratory protection should be worn. Where LEV is not practicable and exposure is likely to be excessive, approved respiratory protection to CEN standards EN 140 and EN 141, 143 or 149 should be worn.

Skin/Body

Wear dust-appropriate suit (tight woven overalls) to avoid dust to reach the skin. Prevent naked skin for soiling. Iron oxide dust is hygroscopic and may result in a dry-out of the human skin.
