    Benzene is a very hazardous chemical that can cause inflammation when it comes in contact with eyes or skin or is inhaled or ingested. Repeated or prolonged exposure to benzene can damage the blood, bone marrow, central nervous system, liver, and urinary system. To safely handle benzene, proper engineering controls and personal protective equipment should be used. Benzene should also be stored in a segregated, approved, cool, and well-ventilated area with the container kept closed and sealed.

    POTENTIAL OF HAZARD.

    Potential Acute Health Effects: Very hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of ingestion. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Potential Chronic Health Effects:

    Classified Reproductive system/toxin/female [POSSIBLE]. The substance is toxic to blood, bone marrow, central nervous system (CNS). The substance may be toxic to liver, Urinary System. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.

    HOW TO CONTROL . Engineering Controls: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location Personal Protection: Splash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.

    HOW TO STORAGE. Storage:

    Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
