1. Anti-static grounding for loading/unloading platforms, vehicles, and pumps. 2. People usually wear anti-static clothing and goggles.

Anti-static clothing, anti-static shoes, safety helmets, gas masks; conduct operations in a sealed environment with improved ventilation. Operators must receive specialized training and strictly adhere to operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear filter-type gas masks (half-masks), chemical safety goggles, anti-static work clothing, and rubber gloves. Stay away from flames and heat sources; smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment. Prevent steam from leaking into the workplace air. Avoid contact with oxidizers, acids, and alkali metals. During filling, the flow rate should be controlled, and a grounding device should be in place to prevent static electricity buildup. Equipped with appropriate types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and emergency response devices for leaks. Empty containers may retain harmful substances. Storage precautions: Store in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from flames and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30°C. Keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidizers, acids, alkali metals, etc.; mixed storage is strictly prohibited. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. The use of mechanical equipment and tools that may generate sparks is prohibited. The storage area should be equipped with emergency response equipment for leaks and appropriate containment materials.
