Methods for Cleaning Up: Collect powder using scoop and inert absorbent, shovel into labeled waste container
Decontamination: Wash affected area with detergent and water, ventilate space, remove contaminated materials
Disposal: Place swept materials and cleaning debris in closed chemical waste container for disposal by licensed handler
Other Considerations: Prevent dust formation during cleanup, isolate spill from incompatible materials, report large or uncontrolled spills to relevant authority

Handling and Storage

Handling: Open containers with care in a chemical fume hood, use local exhaust if handling large quantities, minimize dust and vapor generation
Avoid: Contact with incompatible materials, inhalation, skin and eye contact, and buildup of static
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling, keep away from food and drinks, wear laundered clothes
Storage: Store in tightly closed original container, keep in dry, cool, and well-ventilated location
Recommended Temperature: 2–8°C (refrigeration)
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases that may react with carbamate groups
Segregation: Keep away from incompatible chemicals and sources of ignition, secure containers to prevent tipping

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Work in a fume hood, use local exhaust ventilation, and safety showers
Eye/Face Protection: Safety goggles or face shield
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), long-sleeved lab coat
Respiratory Protection: Half-mask respirator with organic vapor cartridge for dusty or poorly ventilated work
Hand Protection: Replace gloves after direct contact or splash
Workplace Monitoring: Set up routine air testing for dusts and vapors, particularly during scale-up
