Respiratory Protection:RESPIRATORY PROT IS NOT NORMALLY NEEDED SINCE
    VOLATILITY & TOXICITY ARE LOW. IF SIGNIFICANT MISTS ARE GENERATED,
    USE EITHER NIOSH APPROVED CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR W/A
    DUST/MIST PREFILTER/SUPPLIE D AIR. FOR LARGE SPILLS, ENTRY INTO
    LARGE TANKS, VESSELS/ENCLOSED SMALL SPACES W/INADEQUATE VENT, A
    NIOSH APPROVED POSITIVE PRESSURE, SCBA IS RECOMMENDED.
Ventilation:GENERAL VENTILATION IS RECOMMENDED. ADDITIONALLY, LOCAL
    EXHAUST VENTILATION IS RECOMMENDED WHERE VAPORS, OR MISTS MAY BE
    RELEASED.
