General Industrial Hygiene
Considerations

Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after
handling. Do not smoke, eat, or drink while using the product.
Engineering
Measures/Controls

Adequate ventilation systems as needed to control concentrations of airborne
contaminants below applicable threshold limit values. Use precaution to protect building
intake from fumes and vapors created outdoors.
