chromyl dichloride; chromic oxychloride is corrosive to skin, eyes, or metals. Store in acid-resistant or alkali-resistant cabinets as appropriate. Do not store in metal containers. Secondary containment (drip trays) is required. Segregate from incompatible substances such as strong oxidisers.

chromyl dichloride; chromic oxychloride may cause irritation to skin, eyes, or respiratory tract, or has low-level systemic toxicity. Adequate ventilation must be provided in work areas. Personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection) is recommended during handling.

chromyl dichloride; chromic oxychloride is classified as mutagenic. Exposure must be minimised using engineering controls (local exhaust ventilation, closed systems). Biological and medical monitoring may be required. Refer to the full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Section 8 for occupational exposure limits.

chromyl dichloride; chromic oxychloride is hazardous to the aquatic environment. Do not allow this substance to enter drains, waterways, or soil.
