Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas.
Environmental precautions: Do not let product enter drains.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Reference to other sections: For disposal see section 13

Section 7 - Handling and Storage 
Precautions for safe handling: Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection 
Engineering Controls: Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.

Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes: Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards  such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin: Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique  (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product.
