Under ordinary conditions of use for its intended purpose, no respiratory protection is required.
Under ordinary conditions of use for its intended purpose, no special ventilation is required.
Wear if doing prolonged cleaning by hand.
Wear if needed to prevent reasonable probability of eye contact.
Observe standard general work practices regarding ingestion, eye contact, and inhalation. Wash after using if there is reasonable probability of contact with the cleaner. Promptly remove any non-impervious clothing that becomes wet.
