Handling and storage

Manufacture and use takes place under strictly controlled conditions. The substance

is rigorously contained (production, use), appropriate risk management measures are

applied and a management system is in place. An authorisation scheme covers the

process and a procedure ensures that only trained and authorised persons handle  

the substance. Process procedures for containment during cleaning and  

maintenance have been accounted for in plant and engineering design as

appropriate for the site. Procedures to ensure containment have been applied for all

stages of production and processing. Occupational procedures have been assessed

and are documented.

Personal precautions while handling the product:

- respiratory protection:  

If product is handled while not enclosed, and if contact may occur:

Wear respirator with a particle filter mask (protection factor 4)

conforming to European norm EN149FFP1 or equivalent.

Wash hands always before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet.

Wear standard coverall and type 5 suit.

Wear two layers of clothing wherever possible.

Polyester/cotton or cotton overalls should be worn under chemical protection suit and should be professionally laundered frequently.

If chemical protection suit is splashed, sprayed or significantly contaminated, decontaminate as far as possible,

then carefully remove and dispose of as advised by manufacturer.

- eye protection:  

Wear goggles conforming to EN166 (Field of Use 5 or equivalent).
