•Storage:Store in acid-resistant containers (e.g., polyethylene or fiberglass) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.Keep away from incompatible substances, such as bases, oxidizers, and flammable materials.
•Handling:Use transfer equipment designed for handling corrosive chemicals.Avoid direct contact with metals like aluminum, which can react violently.
•Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):Full-body acid-resistant suits, gloves, safety goggles, and face shields are essential.Use respiratory protection in areas with poor ventilation or high fume concentrations.
•Emergency Preparedness:Keep neutralizing agents like baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) or lime readily available.Install emergency eyewash stations and safety showers near work areas.Train workers on spill containment and first-aid procedures.
