Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING
Ha
ndling:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not swallow. Good
housekeeping is important to prevent accumulation of dust. Avoid
generating dust. The use of compressed air for cleaning clothing,
equipment, etc, is not recommended. Use only in well-ventilated
areas. Handle and open container with care. When using do not eat or
drink. (See section 8)
General Hygiene Advice:
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash hands before
eating, drinking, or smoking.
7.2 CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES
Storage:
Keep out of the reach of children. Store in dust-tight, dry, labeled
containers. Keep containers closed when not in use. Avoid any dust
buildup by frequent cleaning and suitable construction of the storage
area. Do not store in an area equipped with emergency water
sprinklers. Use corrosion-resistant structural materials and lighting
and ventilation systems in the storage area. (See section 10)
