in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Keep container
tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Combustible materials
should be stored away from extreme heat and away from strong oxidizing agents.
Section
8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls:
Use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations
generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal
Protection:
Splash
goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified
respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
