*  First Aid Measures  *
    EYELIDS. GET MEDICAL AID. SKIN: GET MEDICAL AID. FLUSH SKIN WITH
    CLOTHING AND  SHOES. WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. INGESTION: DO NOT
    INDUCE VOMITING. IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS AND ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS
    OF MILK OR WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO UNCONSCIOUS
    PERSON. GET MEDIC AL AID. INHALATION: GET MEDICAL AID. MOVE TO
    FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
    BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY.

*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLING: WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
    HANDLING. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH BEFORE REUSE. USE
    WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. MINIMIZE DUST GENERATION AND
    ACCUMULATION. DO NOT GET INTO EYES, ON SKIN OR  CLOTHING. KEEP
    CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED: AVOID CONTACT WITH CLOTHING, OTHER
    COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
Other Precautions:DO NOT INGEST OR INHALE. DISCARD CONTAMINATED SHOES.
    STORAGE: DO NOT STORE NEAR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. KEEP CONTAINER
    CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA
    AWAY FROM INCOM PATIBLE SUBSTANCES. KEEP CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED.
