7. HANDLING AND STORAGE<br />
Storage<br />
Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. In event of large<br />
spill: Use absorbent (soil or sand, sawdust, inert material, vermiculite). Sweep<br />
up. Collect and seal in properly labelled drums for disposal. Wash area down with<br />
detergent and excess water. Contain - prevent contamination of drains and<br />
waterways.<br />
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and<br />
inhalation of vapours.<br />
Refer to State Land Waste Management Authority for disposal.<br />
(Victoria:MMBW (03) 9615 6099)<br />
Classified as a C1 (COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID)<br />

No value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational<br />
Health and Safety Commission (Worksafe Australia).<br />
However, Exposure Standards for Ethylene glycol (vapour):<br />
(As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission)<br />
TWA - 60 (mg/m3) STEL - 120 (mg/m3)<br />
Overalls or similar protective apparel. Safety glasses,goggles or faceshield as<br />
appropriate. Rubber gloves. Always work in a well ventilated area.<br />
Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of vapour and mist.<br />
Wear overalls, safety shoes, chemical goggles and impervious gloves.<br />
Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation risk exists wear organic<br />
vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and<br />
AS/NZS 1716.<br />
Always wash hands before eating, smoking, drinking or using the toilet.<br />
Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing<br />
or re-using.<br />
Must be sufficient to prevent breathing of vapour. Maintain concentration below<br />
recommended exposure limit.<br />
Vapour at elevated temperatures heavier than air - prevent concentration in<br />
hollows or sumps.<br />
DO NOT enter confined spaces where vapour may have collected.<br />
Keep containers closed when not in use.<br />
