SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

Ventilation: Forced ventilation may be necessary where natural ventilation is limited. Magazines containing NG and/or
EGDN based explosives must be ventilated before entry.
Respiratory Protection: None normally required.
Protective Clothing: Chemical resistant (nitrile) gloves are suggested.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses are recommended.
Other Precautions Required: Inhalation and skin contact should be minimized to avoid headaches, nausea, and blood
vessel dilation. Protective clothing should be changed daily, more often if contaminated.
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

Precautions to be taken in handling and storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Store in compliance with
Federal, State, and local regulations. Keep away from heat, flame, ignition sources, and strong shock.
Precautions to be taken during use: Avoid breathing the fumes or gases from detonation of explosives. Use accepted
safe industry practices when using explosive materials. Unintended detonation of explosives or explosive devices can
cause serious injury or death.
Other Precautions: It is recommended that users of explosive materials be familiar with the Institute of Makers of
Explosives Safety Library Publications.
