Use only the amount required for the job. Using twice as much doesn't mean twice the results; it may actually have a dangerous result.
Always read and follow instructions on product labels.
Use products in well-ventilated areas. Open your windows, doors, and use an exhaust fan to remove fumes.
Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, or a respirator when product label suggests.
Never mix different products. Explosions or poisonous chemical reactions may occur.
Safe Storage
If possible, keep products in their original containers for important descriptive information in case of poisoning; otherwise, label containers identifying the type or name brand product.
Make certain all lids are tightly sealed and products are in an upright position.
Check containers for leak or rust holes. If a container leaks, place in a larger container and add oil absorbent or another absorbent such as kitty litter.
Do not mix different or unknown chemicals together.
Always store in a well-ventilated, cool, dry, secure place that is out of reach of children and animals.
Safe Transport
Keep material in an original container with label intact.
Clearly label the container if the original label is missing.
For a container with no label, include any information you have about the product, (paint, insecticide, etc.), on the container.
Place leaking containers in a larger container.
Do not mix different or unknown materials together.
Place all items in a box in the trunk for transporting.
