07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid contact with eyes. Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing severe hazard to workers inside carbon vessels or confined spaces

Storage

Protect containers from physical damage. Store in dry, cool, wellventilated area. Store away from strong oxidizers, strong acids, ignition sources, combustible materials, and heat. An adequate air gap between packages is recommended to reduce propagation in the case of fire.

Fire prevention

Remove all strong ignition sources, no smoking, hot work permit systems, adequate air gap between packages.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Local exhaust and general ventilation must be adequate to meet exposure standards

Hands

None required under normal product handling conditions

Eyes

safety glasses

Respiratory

If airborne concentrations are above the applicable exposure limits, use NIOSH approved respiratory protection

Skin/Body

Wear suitable working clothes
