YSI Profiler System USER Manual
STORAGE: Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not store in open
or unlabelled containers. Store away from strong oxidizing
agents and combustible materials. Do not store near heat,
sparks, flame or strong oxidants.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent small spills and leakages to avoid slip
hazard.
EMPTY CONTAINER WARNING: Empty containers retain residue (liquid
and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD,
BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT,
FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION;
THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt to
refill or clean container since residue is difficult to remove.
Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and
promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. All containers should
be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in
accordance with governmental regulations.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
When mists/aerosols can occur, the following are recommended: 5 mg/m3
(as oil mist)- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV), 10 mg/m3 (as oil mist)
- ACGIH Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL), 5 mg/m3 (as oil mist) - OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL)
VENTILATION: If mists are generated, use adequate ventilation, local
exhaust or enclosures to control below exposure limits.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If mists are generated, and/or when
ventilation is not adequate, wear approved respirator.
EYE PROTECTION: If eye contact is likely, safety glasses with side
shields or chemical type goggles should be worn.
SKIN PROTECTION: Not normally required. When splashing or liquid
contact can occur frequently, wear oil resistant gloves and/or
other protective clothing. Good personal hygiene practices
should always be followed.
