7. HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling
:
Ensure that eye bath is available and ready for use. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container tightly closed. Do not breathe vapours, mist
or fumes.
Conditions for safe storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container locked up and tightly closed when
not in use.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure limit(s):
The Exposure Standards for Naphtha (petroleum), hydrotreated heavy:
Cas 64742-48-9:
TWA ppm mg/m
3
171 1200
Exposure controls:
Eye protection:
Wear safety glasses.
Hand protection:
Wear impervious gloves.
Respiratory protection:
If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne
exposure then respiratory protective equipment should be used for protection against airborne
contamination. Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/NZ 1715, Selection
Engineering measures:
Use only in a well ventilated area. If handling large amounts a
system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended.
