SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Usage precautions Keep out of the reach of children. Read and follow manufacturer's recommendations. Wear
protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Keep away from food,
drink and animal feeding stuffs. Avoid exposing aerosol containers to high temperatures or
direct sunlight. The product is flammable. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open
flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Do not handle until all safety precautions have
been read and understood. Do not handle broken packages without protective equipment. Do
not spray on an open flame or other ignition source. Do not pierce or burn, even after use.
Spray will evaporate and cool rapidly and may cause frostbite or cold burns if in contact with
skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapours and spray/mists.
Advice on general
occupational hygiene
Wash promptly if skin becomes contaminated. Take off contaminated clothing. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Change

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/Personal protection
8.1. Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
Petroleum gases, liquefied
Long-term exposure limit (8-hour TWA): WEL 1000 ppm 1750 mg/m³
Short-term exposure limit (15-minute): WEL 1250 ppm 2180 mg/m³
WEL = Workplace Exposure Limit
8.2. Exposure controls
Protective equipment
Appropriate engineering
controls
Provide adequate ventilation. Personal, workplace environment or biological monitoring may
be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or
the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. Use process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation or other engineering controls as the primary means to minimise worker exposure.
Personal protective equipment should only be used if worker exposure cannot be controlled
adequately by the engineering control measures. Ensure control measures are regularly
inspected and maintained. Ensure operatives are trained to minimise exposure.
