07 Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling
Instructions for Safe Handling
Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of
vapour in air and avoid vapour concentration higher than the
occupational exposure limits.
Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour and spray
mist.
Smoking, eating and drinking are forbidden in application area.
For personal protection see section 8. Comply with the health and
safety at work laws.
Isolate from sources of heat, sparks and open flame. Do not use
any sparking tools.
Product may charge electrostatically: always use earthing leads
when transferring from one container to another and earth
containers. It is recommended that operators should wear
antistatic clothing and footwear.
When operators, whether spraying or not, have to work inside the
spray booth, ventilation is unlikely to be sufficient to control
particulates and solvent vapour in all cases. In such
circumstances they should wear a compressed air-fed respirator
during the spraying process and until such time as the
particulates and solvent vapour concentration has fallen below the
exposure limits.
