Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage into drains and watercourses
Containment and Cleanup: Sweep up without generating dust, transfer to dry container, wash spill site after pickup
Disposal: Dispose of waste via approved chemical disposal contractor
Handling: Minimize dust generation, avoid inhalation and direct contact. Use in well-ventilated areas. Keep containers tightly sealed. Wash hands after use.
Storage: Store in original container in cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Protect from moisture and incompatible chemicals such as strong acids or oxidizers. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Workplace Exposure Limits: None established for tylosine tartrate, use general dust limits (e.g. OSHA PEL for nuisance particulates)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls
Personal Protection: Protective gloves (nitrile or latex), safety goggles, protective laboratory coat, NIOSH-approved dust respirator
Hygiene Measures: Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking during handling. Wash hands and exposed skin after use.
