SAFETY HANDLING

1. Safety Precautions

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Gloves (nitrile/latex) – Prevents contamination and protects sensitive skin.
Safety goggles – Needed when handling large volumes or during processing to prevent eye splashes.

- Use airtight containers to prevent microbial growth.
Processing:
- Use sterilized equipment to avoid contamination.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures (>40°C) to preserve active compounds.
Allergy Warning:
- Some individuals may develop contact dermatitis—patch test before topical use.

Spill Management

Small spills: Wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
Large spills: Use absorbent materials (e.g., paper towels) and sanitize the area.
