Ensure proper ventilation to maintain exposure below limits (e.g., OSHA's 50 ppm TWA). Avoid skin/eye contact; wash immediately with soap if exposed. No eating/drinking in work areas.
  2. Environmental Safety: Store in sealed, cool, ventilated spaces away from heat/oxidizers. Dispose of waste via licensed facilities to prevent water/soil contamination.
