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.

This substance carries the signal word DANGER, indicating the more severe hazard categories under GHS/CLP.
