Precautions for safe handling:
Technical measures (e.g. Local and general ventilation):
Minimization of emissions by means of suitable technical measures such as flanges and valves with low leakage rates, recirculation of vapours.
Decant and handle product in separate areas only, e.g. use glove boxes, cabinets with differential pressure switch etc.
Do not lead exhaust air back to workplace areas unfiltered.
Exhaust filter or scrubber. exhaust air filter (HEPA-filter) Wastewater can be added to a biological wastewater treatment plant.
Remove exhaust gases through a washer or through combustion.
All precautionary measures indicated have to be observed.
Provide for installation of emergency shower and eye bath.
The substance must be handled under strictly controlled conditions in accordance with Article 17/18 of the REACH regulation.

Safe handling advice:
All precautionary measures indicated have to be observed.
Risk assessment and risk monitoring of all work places required.
Health, Safety and Emergency Management System recommended.
Written approval necessary in case of non-routine jobs, e.g. maintenance activities.
Regular safety training is a must.
The personal protective equipment used must meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and amendments (CE certification).
It should be defined in the work place in the form of a risk analysis according to Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and amendments.
Decant and handle product in separate areas only, e.g. use glove boxes, cabinets with differential pressure switch etc.
Ensure that apparatus and pipelines are free from leaks.
Do not ventilate into the open.
Dedicated loading/unloading stations required.
The product should only be handled by trained personnel.
Empty, clean and dry system / system components completely before maintenance and repair work is done.
Written approval necessary in case of non-routine jobs, e.g. maintenance activities.
