  8. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS AND CONTROLS (Keep out of reach of children)

    MIST AND VAPOR CONTROL: Avoid excessive mist and vapor generation such as spraying the product or using it at an elevated temperature. Always work with the product in areas that have sufficient room ventilation. Avoid using the product in confined or enclosed spaces unless mechanical ventilation is provided from a fresh air source at an air flow rate sufficient to dilute the vapor or mist to acceptable concentrations and maintain the ambient oxygen concentration. Also provide good air mixing in the space to disperse the vapor or mist.

    RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: When excessive mist or vapor generation occurs in a work area, wear respirators approved for organic vapor/mist protection at the relevant exposure concentration. If respirators are used, the employer must have a respirator program in place that satisfies the OSHA requirements for a minimally acceptable program (e.g., 29 CFR 1910.134).

    SKIN AND EYE CONTACT: Avoid direct contact with large amounts of product. Use gloves, goggles, apron and boots when excessive contact cannot be avoided. Wash hands and forearms with water and mild soap after use.
