Handling and storage

7.1 Handling

7.1.1 Protective measures

Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.

As a precautionary measure, the wearing of chemical resistant gloves, long sleeved overalls and closed footwear, designed to minimize skin contact is

suggested for all (di)antimony trioxide powder handling workplaces. Use personal protective equipment as required.

Provide showers, eye-baths and self-contained breathing apparatus nearby.

For more information see the relevant Exposure Scenario, Annex I and check section 2.1: Control of workers exposure.

7.1.2 Advice on general occupational hygiene

Avoid inhalation or ingestion. General occupational hygiene measures are required to ensure a safe handling of the substance. These measures involve good personal and housekeeping practices (i.e. regular cleaning with suitable cleaning devices), no eating, drinking and smoking at the workplace and wearing standard working clothes and shoes unless otherwise stated.

Wash hands after use.

Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Shower and change clothes at end of work shift. Do not wear contaminated clothing at home. Do not blow dust off with compressed air.

7.2 Storage
