Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures :
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do
not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative
made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use.
Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not
reuse container.
Advice on general occupational
hygiene
:
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this
material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands
and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated
clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See
also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
:
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container
protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area,
away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and
drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.
Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept
upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use
appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
Ingredient name Exposure limits
Zinc phosphide
None.
Appropriate engineering controls :
Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local
exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker
exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or
statutory limits.
Environmental exposure controls :
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be
checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of
environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers,
filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be
necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures :
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical
products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end
of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to
remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated
clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
